Summary
This module is about working securely and reliably, when at work, on the road and at home. While it may seem like a no-brainer to do that at all times and everywhere, there are enough reasons to briefly focus on it.

How many people truly consider the risks of not locking their computer screen? Who really knows how childishly simple it is to see all of your internet traffic if you briefly make use of the public WiFi network on the train? Or if you email a file containing sensitive data without encrypting it?

This module is definitely not intended to scare you. On the contrary, the goal of this module is to provide you with some concrete tools so you can reduce the risk of data breaches as much as possible. That can relate to both digital and analogue data (e.g. printed documents, whiteboards covered with notes and post-its).

And don't assume that hackers are not interested in your position and the data you work with. They are smart enough to infiltrate sensitive systems with the help of precisely those employees who are less prepared for this. And then the damage can be just as extensive.

In this module, we will discuss a few important terms related to working securely and reliably, such as encryption, VPN connections and shoulder surfing. For each of the possible locations you can work in (on site, on the road and at home), you will be given four concrete tools for working more securely. And you will also be offered the opportunity to do two fun challenges, with which you and your colleagues can immediately check in practice who best remembers the lessons learned in this module.

But as in every module, we will begin with a short quiz so you can find out what you already know about the various subjects.

Good luck with this third module!
