IT-Security in Plain English
The ongoing conncting of systems in our world is progressing continuously. Today, even simple auxiliary activities rely on the use of complex IT systems, for example in logistics with dynamic or chaotic warehousing. Every employee inevitably has to work with IT systems and the data and information stored on them and must learn and master the secure handling of information. However, guidelines on information security are often written in a technical language that is almost incomprehensible to outsiders. In addition, terms in different languages are often interspersed, making understanding even more difficult. This poses particular challenges for some people.
Plain English
Plain English attempts to explain difficult things in a way that is easier to understand. Easy-to-read language consists of short sentences. Each sentence contains only one statement or piece of information. Long sentences should be shortened and simplified. Easy-to-read language uses familiar and meaningful words. Foreign words and technical terms should not be used. Abbreviations are avoided or written out in full. For an important term, the same word is always used. Other words with the same meaning make the text more varied, but make it more difficult to understand. There are several similar rules for Plain English.
