Performing Security Management in a Digitalized World

This course was designed to introduce its participants to the most common security threats that are associated with the use of modern technologies and the sectors that are most affected by them. In addition to the theoretical lectures, the course was enriched with the lectures of company representatives who demonstrated possible security risks, their identification and methods leading to their elimination in real cases. Students thus had an opportunity to become familiar with the issue of cognitive warfare (company DefSec), they found out what challenges truck manufacturers have to face (company Renault Trucks), what was the contribution of space industry to the security of Europe (company RHEA Group) and what dilemmas autonomous car manufacturers have to deal with (company Valeo). The last day of the course was mostly dedicated to a cyber security game (company M-COM), that rised the participants´ awareness of the risks and security issues of modern computerized systems.
