Cybersecurity Noord-Nederland launch event
Online kick-off meeting Cybersecurity North Netherlands Programme
With the growing digitalisation in our society, the number of cyber attacks is also increasing. This makes cyber security an important part of the digital ecosystem. Smart devices are often digitally insecure, software is outdated and updates are not carried out. It is not a question of whether you are hacked, but when and how often. There is an urgent need for knowledge in the field of cyber security. The Cybersecurity Noord-Nederland programme will present itself in a live broadcast on Thursday 28 January at 16:00.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs has explicitly designated the Province of Groningen as a leader in the field of digital economy and security. Together, the University of Groningen, Hanze University Groningen, TNO, the Cyber Security Centre North Netherlands Foundation and Qbit are working to improve the digital resilience of the SME sector. The programme focuses on both the legal and technical aspects of cyber security.
Live broadcast
During the live broadcast on 28 January, participants can learn interactively about some of the components of the Cybersecurity Noord-Nederland programme. The programme is as follows:
