From Cuneiform to Code Words

Sarah Aalborg visits Roskilde Library to trace the line from Mesopotamian clay tablets to your bank statement, from the Pope's signet ring to MitID, and from Roman generals to your password. The point is that the challenges we face today in information security are fundamentally the same ones humans have dealt with for thousands of years.

No prior knowledge is necessary. The lecture is designed so you leave with both a better understanding and concrete steps you can take to strengthen your digital security.

Sarah Aalborg is a specialist in information security and human risk, working with what she calls 'behaviour-based security'. She is a member of the Cybersecurity Council and serves on committees for information security at Danish IT and Danish Industry. She was formerly IT security chief at Tivoli and is the author of the books "The Safe Choice" and "From Awareness to Behaviour".
