Program Overview

Risks of Digitisation, Cybercrime, Prevention & Security

The University of Twente and the I-Partnership are joining forces to strengthen national governments and educational institutions in the fight against cybercrime. With a customized in-company program, they offer professionals the opportunity to arm themselves against the risks of digitization and cybercrime.

Program Overview

The "Risks of Digitisation, Cybercrime, Prevention & Security" program is divided into two sessions of two days each. Participants will gain in-depth insight into the specific risks that digitization poses to their organization. They will learn not only to analyze cybercrime but also to organize preventive security measures.

Unique Approach

What makes this program unique is its multidisciplinary approach. Based on scientific theories from various fields such as criminology, ethics, and psychology, all relevant topics are covered. From trends in cyber threats to digital strategies and serious gaming, and from the business models of cybercriminals to the human factor in cybercrime and change management.

Case Study

A special aspect of this program is the treatment of the University of Maastricht case. Here, an evidence-based approach is taken to look at practice and draw lessons from a real situation. What went wrong during the ransomware attack? What are the ethical implications? What technical measures were taken, and what can we learn from them?

Disciplines Covered

In a concise manner, all relevant topics are covered based on scientific theories from various disciplines, including:

• Trends in cyber threats
• Digital strategy and serious gaming
• Finance: the business models of cybercriminals
• Human factors: how cybercriminals influence us as humans with phishing and other social engineering attacks
• Change management: getting management and employees on board with cyber-secure behavior

This in-company program offers professionals not only valuable knowledge and insights but also concrete tools to protect their organization from cybercrime. The collaboration between the University of Twente and the I-Partnership takes an important step towards a safer digital future for government institutions and educational organizations.
