Cybersecurity

23 Jan 2015 - 16:04:43 in Event
Dr Ian Welch from Victoria University of Wellington and Prof Xun Yi from RMIT have organised an upcoming cybersecurity workshop and conference as part of the Australasian Computer Science Week at the University of West Sydney. This is a hugely topical subject in light of recent cyber attacks involving governments such as North Korea and organisations such as Anonymous.

Invited speakers include Dr Mike Davies (Research Leader, Cyber Assurance and Operations, DSTO) who will talk about "How do we form a stronger base of national cyber S&T security?” and Dr Jonathan Oliver (Senior Architect at Trend Micro) who will talk about "Recent TorrentLocker outbreaks in Australia”. They will be joined by Vijay Varadharajan (Microsoft Chair Professor in Innovation in Computing) for a panel discussion around the theme of “Preparing for upcoming cyber security threats and challenges”.

The workshop takes place on the 28th of January and proceedings of the conference will be published by the Australian Computer Society.
