Cyber Security Capacity Building
- Started in: January 2021
Cyber security is one of today’s most urgent issues and, at the same time, an often neglected one. Due to the rising complexities and accelerating developments, many governments, institutions, and individual users often are not – or barely – able to keep up. More than ever, we need secure ways to use the necessary tools for contemporary work and life.
This research project is linked to the professorship Aesthetics and Cultures of Technology. This professorship, which was led by Nishant Shah, has been discontinued due to Nishant's departure from ArtEZ. You can read more about Nishant Shah's departure here. The project pages of Nishant's research projects will remain online until July 2023.
We need an open, inclusive, and ongoing discourse that aims to tackle and reflect on cybersecurity issues. Although many key players and initiatives are separated into different specialisations, we believe that the vast complexities and connections between them justify a collective conversation to enable secure ways to use today’s tools and environments.
With the Cyber Security Capacity Building project online research is conducted, with invited experts from different countries reflecting on a variety of developments in technology, design, governance, and legal frameworks in cyber security. Each participant will be asked to engage with the domain of artificial intelligence and the question of producing justice by design. This means that we will look for step-by-step corrections of the industry through each design instead of putting it onto the state to regulate. The Professorship in Aesthetics and Cultures of Technology (PACT) will produce the synthesis, which will tie all the resources together.
The Cyber Security Capacity Building project will do the groundwork and think with the global histories of cyber security, policy development, key definitions, cyber espionage, cyber warfare, cyber diplomacy, and global hierarchies.
