annual meeting

meet the board: Christina Gustavsson

Christina Gustavsson, business consultant, sometimes with assignments in Information Security. I studied InfoSec at DSV after the turn of the century and have worked as an information security coordinator. To me, the most interesting and challenging aspect of InfoSec is to actually improve the security of organizations in practice. To create safe and effective technical solutions and processes, and also to succeed in changing people's behavior.
I think SAISec's primary role is to be an arena or network where professionals - former security students - can meet ongoing research in academia for the benefit and pleasure of both parties.

what works?

The field of Information Security is not sufficiently understood.

The domain has existed for a few decades, during which time a dramatic shift has occurred in the ways we create, transmit, process and store information. (As an example, consider recent changes in how the average household uses photography.)

We need more research, more and better education, but also more and better interaction between academia and practitioners. What works, asks the criminologist. And so should we be asking in InfoSec.

good things are coming

Good things come to those who wait, they say.

But it takes more than patience. The new Master's Programme in Information Security is the result of years of dedicated work. SAISec has been persistently promoting the idea and been involved in designing the curriculum.

Protecting information by upholding adequate levels of confidentiality, integrity and availability is set to grow in importance for society as a whole. For SAISec it's rewarding to see DSV regain its position as a driving force.
