Melissa G.: Since I would have to do this alongside my normal work, I cannot do it on a regularly basis. From time to time, I have days off during the week, but I work in the office on Saturdays and could use the compensatory days off for teaching.. So, in a sense, I am forced to teach as much as necessary within a certain amount of time, without overwhelming the children. And to be honest, most children these days can't listen for more than 30 minutes without getting distracted, can they?

Christian R. absolutely ! i´d appreciate that !

I think the biggest hurdle is getting people on board and sparking their interest. Many people have the mantra ‘I have nothing to hide because I'm not doing anything wrong’ ... and this is where disillusionment must set in: no matter what you do on the web, you leave traces behind. Your purchases, your Google timeline, etc. With big data, you become ‘transparent’ and many corporations are more than interested in what you do... even if it's "just" to adjust your credit score or insurance rates... I think that if you can convey this to pupils (or at least ‘plant the seed’), you can achieve a great deal...

such a solution wouldn´t work for us, as we have many colleagues here having no computer-account at all therefore also not participating in SoSafe, so these informations would only bother about 40% of the employees and awarding something this part would not be fair in my eyes. But in a company with a more homogenous level of computer-enabled workers this definitely makes sense.

as we are an "old" company (founded 1861 !) we have a "that´s how we always did this" mentality in most non-tech-departments. So there the mentioned pressure is highly appreciated (and sometimes, as sad as it sounds, needed. For the first part: yes, completely agreed.

I think the most important thing is that we as IT are not above things and act as nerdy “gods”, as I have unfortunately seen in some companies. Yes, we also have rules and processes, but we also always have an open ear for silly questions and/or private problems, as long as it stays within reason. On the subject of “top-down”: our Management Board has a very clear and insistent approach when it comes to its wishes and ideas. This is absolutely the right thing to do when it comes to the safety of the company and the employees are on track accordingly. I think without this certain psychological pressure behind them, the whole thing would have come to nothing. Some will certainly say that this has nothing to do with the current, modern way of managing and responsible and self-determined users, but it helps tremendously here.

To be honest: i know him personally for a long time. I have subscribed to his podcast and am always eagerly awaiting the next episode. His appearances at training courses, seminars or on TV are always very entertaining

Hi Melissa. to be honest, i think I'll just let myself be surprised by what happens here. Are you (SoSafe) still looking for Speakers for the HuFiCon in November ? If so, i´d have an recommendation ... https://www.sichere.it/ Tobias Schrödel who is an extremely gripping and competent speaker on cybersecurity and spices up his lectures with a lot of humor
