Cybersecurity is becoming more prevalent and critical by the day, as individuals, businesses and communities are faced with constantly evolving threats.

Cyber epidemiology offers a different way of thinking about this threat by taking what we know about the medical world and human behaviour, and applying it to the technology world.

Jess will cover:

• What is epidemiology and how it relates to cyber security?
• How can we use cross-disciplinary thinking like cyber epidemiology to analyse threats at scale?
