European Cyber Security Month

The European Cyber Security Month (ECSM) is an action of the EU member states under the auspices of ENISA and has been held annually in autumn since 2012 to promote cyber security awareness. Further information: https://cybersecuritymonth.eu.

Practical tips IT security

In addition to the various technical precautions, it is important that we protect the IT infrastructure of the KIT. How is explained in this leaflet.
