Online workshop: Cybersecurity in the cultural sector

Do you work in a museum, theater, heritage institution, festival, or other cultural organization? Then you know how dependent you are on digital systems. Think of ticketing, audience data, CRM, and digital collections.

But what if your organization faces phishing, ransomware, or a data breach? Cyberattacks are becoming more common, even in the cultural sector. In this practical online workshop, learn how to make your organization digitally resilient. In four clear steps, you will work on an action plan for a secure digital foundation in just two hours.

  • Map out your key digital systems and data
  • Gain insight into risks and appropriate measures
  • Take concrete steps towards structural cybersecurity in your organization

Digital risks are no longer just a concern for large companies. Cultural organizations also face them. A wrong click on a phishing email, a poorly secured system, or a weak password can already be enough. The consequences can be troublesome: visitor data can leak, systems may temporarily fail, or important files can become inaccessible. This costs time, money, and trust.

That’s why it’s essential to take measures in time. With the right basic agreements and a clear plan, you can prevent many problems. In this workshop, DEN helps you gain an overview and work step by step towards a secure digital work environment.

What will you learn? Four steps to cybersecurity

We work with the DEN Cybersecurity Plan.

    Which digital processes and data are indispensable? For example, your ticketing system, visitor data, or digital collection. Learn what the impact is if these systems fail.

  2. Determine your risk acceptance

    Which risks can you accept? Which risks must you really mitigate? Learn to make informed choices.

  3. Implement control measures

    Which technical and organizational measures really help? Think of clear roles, policies, agreements with suppliers, and IT security.

  4. Monitor, train, and evaluate

    Cybersecurity is not a one-time action. Learn how to make security an integral part of your organization.
