Team members
Meet the members of the CSIRT-MU Education and Communication Team who strive to raise the level of cybersecurity awareness (not only) at Masaryk University.
To do this, they use one of the most powerful weapons – the spread of knowledge. These people are behind the preparation of the educational courses and articles that you can find on this website. At the same time, they organize workshops and participate in inter-university projects. Moreover, through various communication channels, they share with you their work, news from the cybersecurity world, and the achievements of CSIRT-MU members in science and research.
Barbora Fukárková
She leads the educational section of the CSIRT-MU team. Every day, she looks for the best ways to get key cybersecurity topics and current information from this area to regular users, both in digital and physical environments. For this, she uses her knowledge of education, visual communication, and human-centered design (HCD). Apart from coordinating the team, she deals with, for example, creating user-friendly e-learning environments using modern educational trends. Currently, she experiments with personalization and gamification of educational content. She also strives to maintain the entire Cybersecurity Team's excellent reputation through social networks and websites.
In her free time, she likes to try as many things as possible, especially in the field of arts and crafts. She is engaged in photography and enjoys renovating furniture and her old house. She also likes to work with glass or ceramics or to draw. And sometimes she just relaxes playing games.

In the Cybersecurity Team of Masaryk University, she educates users on cybersecurity. She prepares workshops focused on cybersecurity legal requirements and creates educational courses for the university environment.

In the future, she aims to deepen her knowledge in these areas to make them understandable to a broader range of audiences in the academic community.
She believes cybersecurity is an area that already affects all aspects of our life and various fields of science and should not be underestimated. Therefore, she thinks it is essential to spread cybersecurity awareness through education.
