BDPA Presents "Cyber Security: Threats, Solutions and Opportunities"

Details

The word “cyberspace” (that mysterious world behind the computer screen) traces its origin to science fiction literature in the 1980s. Today, cyberspace, the Internet, and digital communications are worlds that most of us interface with every day. These three words are often used interchangeably.

Just like the physical world, cyberspace is a place where the bad guys play. They steal information from companies; launch malware to corrupt the environment, and nation states spy on each other. The need for Cyber Security is directly related to the rise of the internet as the dominant global information-sharing and communications tool.

Our speaker for this presentation, Ed Napoleon, will talk about the risks of working in cyberspace and how cyber security mitigates these risks.
