2014 Winter Lecture Series - Don't Get Bit-ten - How Safe Are You Online?
13 Aug 2014 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
The cyber security market is expected to grow to US$94 billion by 2017. It didn't even exist a few years ago but is now a reflection of the world in which we operate. While it is evident that online crime is increasing, recent revelations of security loopholes experienced by large governmental organisations such as WINZ and ACC show just how vulnerable everyone is. With an increased reliance on computing devices and environments such as cloud computing, are we exposed to higher risks? Just how safe is our information in this brave new world? Come along and hear from NetSafe Chief Executive and digital safety advocate Martin Cocker; Computing and Mathematical Science Senior Lecturer and head of the University of Waikato's new Cyber Security Lab Dr Ryan Ko; and online legal expert and Faculty of Law Senior Lecturer Wayne Rumbles on how to enhance your digital safety.
