Game Jam – Unveil the privacy threat

On 7 to 8 October 2017, an event between Smart City, Privacy and Security topics will take place. Together with game designers and experts in the field of privacy and security we will develop serious games to simplify and innovate the methods of employees training for data-driven corporates. The unique form of the event promises a comprehensive, intuitive and creative approach in teaching complex matter:

GAME JAM – UNVEIL THE PRIVACY THREAT
Implementing privacy and security through serious games
7 to 8 October 2017 | HIIG Berlin

How to build smart cities in a privacy and security-friendly way, when more and more movements and human actions are tracked by means of public wifi and camera systems? How to develop the right infrastructure? In particular, how to sensitise employees handling risky data in businesses, which provide smart applications not only for smart cities but for a lot more technological solutions we are confronted with today? In more general words, how to combine state-of-the-art privacy and security and creative thinking? The Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society is organising a unique 2-days event for game designers and experts in the field of privacy and security.
