Security awareness
Ensuring everyone in the community is aware of the latest developments in security and the newest risks, is an important aspect of guaranteeing security. After all, if you don't know what to watch out for, how can you protect yourself? Because of this, GÉANT regularly disseminates security news and recommendations across all its channels.
GÉANT aims to provide cybersecurity awareness insights, while pointing out where to get support and what is most crucial in the fight against cybercrime.
Cybersecurity campaigns
Since 2019, GÉANT has supported Cybersecurity Month (CSM), a European initiative by ENISA and the European Commission, to promote digital safety across the research and education community.
What started as a month-long campaign has grown into a year-round effort, reflecting the ongoing need for cybersecurity awareness in the face of evolving threats. Through expert-led articles, interviews, tips, and webinars, GÉANT continues to empower users to protect themselves and their organisations from cybercrime.

Cybersecurity newsletter
With the increasing frequency and intensity of cyber attacks across all sectors it is vital that the research and education community is informed and aware of the risks posed to their services, data and users.
Research and education could be seen as a "soft target" by some in the hacking community, and so GÉANT prepares a monthly digest of the latest cybersecurity news focused on the research and education community.
Security Awareness Resources Hub
The Security Awareness Resources Hub contains materials developed by GÉANT, tools made available by NRENs to the community, and resources covering background information on security awareness.
The filtering system allows you to search by type, language and target audience, for example. Furthermore, you can see at a glance in the ‘copyright’ column how you are allowed to reuse the material.
