Technical measures are not enough to keep our systems secure, the user needs to become part of the security process. Security Awareness is supposed to help, but the challenges are great and many – missing communication expertise, support and resources are just a few. The Swiss Security Awareness Day aims at giving some insights into the different possible ways to deal with Security Awareness while pointing out where to get support and what is most crucial for being successful.
