ABSTRACT

Cybersecurity is multi-disciplinary but does include, for a large part, highly technical expertise. This expertise is characterized by a lot of jargon. It is often forgotten that most of our audience speaks a different language. Some cybersecurity experts are masters in mysterious language. Cybersecurity as a term seems to connect better with the general public. According to Google Trends, cybersecurity is nowadays more popular as a search term than information security. Cybersecurity includes the security of IT and information (with the exception of analog information). However, no concise, broadly accepted definition of cybersecurity exists. A cybersecurity risk is not ‘a thing' that can be singled out and contained. It is partly related to perception of dangers and annoyances and norms and values.
