The Project ‘Cybersecurity Meets Culture’ concludes successfully, sparking conversations about the role of culture in cybersecurity.
As part of its aim to foster cybersecurity awareness and promote discussions on cybersecurity in a cross-cultural context, the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW) and Biaka University Institute of Buea (BUIB) held two hybrid workshops targeting students and professionals across the globe. Both workshops were conducted in collaboration with the Erasmus/Movetia project MECyS.
