IT Security and Privacy Measures

Don't click on unknown links! Use secure passwords! Don’t post photos on social media! We receive advice and recommendations from all sides on what we should do to move safely and privacy-friendly in the digital world. But which measures really help? Which ones protect against whom? And why does practical implementation often fail?

To answer these questions, we are conducting various studies that explore different perspectives on IT security and privacy measures. These include:

  • Perspectives on measures from different groups of people
  • Comparison of knowledge and implementation of measures
  • The relationship between risk and measures
  • Measures related to smartphones
