Informatics, Social Aspects of Information Security, Second Cycle, 7.5 Credits
A business's information is one of its most important assets. While the technical and regulatory aspects of information security are important, it is acknowledged that considering these are not enough. The course addresses social aspects that have an impact on employees' information security behaviour, such as motivation, values, culture, and neutralisation. Also, the course includes methods and tools, such as awareness and audit programmes, which can be used to change employees' information security behaviour. During the course students will work on identifying potential reasons behind employees' information security behaviour and suggest suitable ways for changing these behaviors.
