Anne Hennig studied science communication at KIT and is now supporting the INSPECTION project. Heike Dietmann will be responsible for the project Digilog. She studied Mathematics at LMU Munich.

The first CAST workshop for the year 2021 will take place on January 14th. The workshop that was canceled due to the pandemic in April 2020 was rescheduled and will be held online on January 14th. In addition to SECUSO/KASTEL@KIT, speakers from the following organizations are invited: Fraunhofer IESE, DHBW Stuttgart, Ruhr University Bochum. Our cooperation partner Dr. Ghiglieri from SICHER3 will also give a presentation. SECUSO's talk is entitled "Effective measures to increase IT security awareness". CAST is the Competence Center for Applied Security Technology in Darmstadt.

The article "Employees' obligation to report IT security and data protection incidents" was published in the first edition of 'Zeitschrift für Datenschutz' in 2021 (ZD 2021, 8). The article is the result of a cooperation with Dirk Müllmann as part of KASTEL. Follow-up work is already planned on how to communicate with employees about incident reporting.

We have put together the highlights of 2020. We would like to thank all collaborators for 2020 and we look forward to exciting research and teaching in 2021.
