The importance of IT security continues to grow. The founders of Husec focus on the "human" factor and pursue the approach that users have a great potential for securing digital systems. This is in contrast to the usual approaches, in which users are seen as the biggest weak point in the system and training courses work with fear of imminent attacks. In contrast, Husec's approach is to support users and thus develop intrinsic motivation for a conscious approach to security-related issues.
