Cybersecurity Awareness Month Toolkit

26.09.2024

Every October, hundreds of events, learning and community-building activities all around Europe, are dedicated to the topic of cybersecurity. With the fast development and deployment of technologies like AI, cybersecurity is a necessary cornerstone not just in our work lives, but also in our day-to-day business.

This October also, SANS takes part in the Cybersecurity Awareness Month with a special, free toolkit to help employees in any organisation understand (and start unlocking) the potential of AI.

About this toolkit

Organisations throughout Europe, and especially SMEs, struggle with new developments as AI technologies are being rolled out worldwide. For managers and senior executives, it can often be challenging to put suitable processes in place to manage how these new technologies are implemented and built, without compromising one’s competitive edge or wasting time.

The SANS Toolkit is designed to help streamline this process by helping managers introduce the topic of AI to employees, generate ideas, and understand the risks their sector or workforce may encounter. It offers 5 sections, including:

  • AI Factsheets
  • Sample AI Acceptable Use Policy: Make it your own to establish ethical AI use in your organisation
  • AI Infographic and Tip Sheets
  • Zoom backgrounds and more to make AI Awareness fun and accessible
Download the toolkit

The toolkit is available to be downloaded here, free of charge.

The Story of Design WeekEnd

We are a small team of volunteers, and every bit of support is crucial for us. If you resonate with our cause and would like to support it, feel free to reach out so we can discuss how.

Nearly 10 years ago (yes, 10 — we’re surprised too), we launched Design WeekEnd with a small design conference in Sevlievo. Since then, we’ve been creating and participating in various design events across Bulgaria, developed three unique formats, relocated to Plovdiv, built meaningful relationships and lasting connections, weathered a pandemic, and emerged stronger afterward. Today, we continue to create with the same childlike enthusiasm, albeit a bit more grown-up.

Over the years, we’ve been fortunate to work with incredible people—as part of our team, as speakers, or as mentors.

Learn more about our story HERE.
