Cybersecurity often sounds like something far away—something only hackers or tech experts deal with. But in this talk, I want to flip that idea around. What if cybersecurity is actually something deeply personal? Something that touches your phone, your online habits, even the way you think and trust information?
Through stories, real-world examples, and moments from my own journey—from being a high school student in Estonia to researching cybersecurity education at DTU—I’ll invite students to reflect on how their digital behaviours shape not only their own safety, but the world around them.
My research focuses on how we can build stronger cyber awareness and decision-making skills, using advanced training tools like cyber ranges. But at the core, it’s not about technology—it’s about people. About how we learn, why we make certain choices, and what it takes to build a digitally resilient society.
The presentation will include interactive questions and short activities that get students thinking: How do they share information? What do they trust online? What would they do if a friend’s account got hacked? The goal is to make cybersecurity feel real, relevant, and maybe even a little bit urgent.
There’s no need for technical knowledge—just curiosity and an open mind. I’ll also share a bit about how I ended up doing this research, how unexpected my path was, and how science isn’t just about answers—it’s about asking better questions.
