Many thanks to Prof. Reto Koenig who was our guest the last two days at #SECUSO . He held a guest lecture in Prof. Volkamer’s “Informationssicherheit - Cybersecurity” course about eVoting and its security challenges. #CyberSecurity #eVoting

🗣️In der neusten Ausgabe des KIT Podcasts "Nachgefragt, wissen wie's läuft" hat Tobias Hilt über die #Forschung im Rahmen seiner Dissertation bei #SECUSO gesprochen: sichere Onlinewahlen und wie der Faktor Mensch dabei berücksichtigt werden sollte.

On March 31st, Mattia Mossano attended the Festschrift Symposium for Professor M. Angela Sasse on behalf of the #SECUSO #research group. He presented the #paper "Guidelines for #Usable Security Interventions" by Benjamin Berens, Mattia Mossano, Maxime Veit, Anne Hennig, and Melanie Volkamer. In total, 85 current and former students, collaborators, colleagues and friends came together at University College London to celebrate 35 years of Angela Sasse at UCL, at a Festschrift Symposium recognising and celebrating her contributions to the field of Computer Science and human-centred #security. Papers published in the "Festschrift" can be found on the website or in the Festschrift that is available on Amazon.

🎭 Alle Jahre wieder begeistert die Musicalgruppe des Steiner CVJM mit einer eigens inszenierten Musicalaufführung. Rebekka Albrecht, #SECUSO, ist dabei nicht nur als Tänzerin in der Gruppe aktiv sondern auch im Leitungsteam, welches aus fünf Personen besteht.
🕰️ Der Titel des diesjährigen Musicals lautete "Echo der Zeit" und erzählt von einer Zeitreise, in der die drei Protagonistinnen versuchen sollen, den Lauf der Geschichte zu ändern. So versuchen sie, die Ermordung John F. Kenndys zu verhindern, die Berliner Mauer früher zu Fall zu bringen oder den "Black Thursday", den Schwarzen Freitag, der 1929 die Weltwirtschaftskrise auslöste, abzuwenden.
🚩 Insgesamt fünf Vorstellungen stellte die Gruppe dieses Jahr auf die Beine - so viele wie nie zuvor. Und der Aufwand hatte sich gelohnt: Mit ingesamt 1300 Besucher:innen erreichte die Veranstaltung dieses Jahr einen Besucherrekord: https://secuso.aifb.kit.edu/img/Muscial.pdf

🐰 SECUSO Wishes You a Happy Easter! 🐣
This year, the Easter Bunny paid #SECUSO a visit and left behind eggs for us to paint—the creative results of our painting activity now adorn our hallway. In addition to traditional designs, we’ve also incorporated our research into our Easter decorations.
💪 After Easter, we’ll be kicking off the summer #semester. This semester, SECUSO will be offering the Applied Computer#Science – #Cybersecurity lecture for the Bachelor’s program as well as the #Security, #Usability, Society lab course (Bachelor’s and Master’s) and will be represented in the Economy and Hashtag#Technology team project. Additionally, some of us will present their work at the #Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (#CHI) in Barcelona the week after Easter. But first, we wish everyone a Happy Easter!

We congratulate Judith Kankam-Boateng and her co-supervisor Peter Mayer, #SECUSO, for the #CHI2026 #paper titled "`It's Confusing, Insecure, and Messy'' -- Mapping the Gaps Between Stakeholders' Cybersecurity Mental Models in the Danish #Economy". The paper investigates #cybersecurity mental models held by three stakeholder groups in Denmark's defence sector and how these mental models influence regulatory processes. The authors conducted focus group interviews with policymakers, #industry associations, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), finding that SMEs often treat cybersecurity as a compliance task, while policymakers assume strategic readiness. As a result, the paper provides recommendations for aligning #governance frameworks with organisational realities.
