Description
CHPC Cyber Security Symposium (CCSS) – 1 full day
Topic: Understanding Risk in Shared CyberEcosystems workshop
As Technology continues to evolve so are the opportunities and challenges it provides. As a Society that relies largely on technology to bring us benefits, it also exposes its users to threats by the very nature of the opportunities it presents, thus becoming a focal point for Cybercrime, industrial espionage, and Cyberattacks. Protecting against these threats is of paramount priority.
Cyber Security domain is inherently dynamic, not only does system configuration changes frequently with new releases and patches, but also new attacks and vulnerabilities are regularly discovered. The core threat in Cyber Security is human, hence intelligent in nature. The attacker adapts to the situation, target environment, and countermeasures.
Attacks actions are driven by attacker’s exploratory nature, thought process, motivation, strategy, and preferences.
The goal of this workshop is to address some of the challenges faced by Network and Security Administrators in their institutions.
The workshop will address challenges such as:
• Iot Threats
• Blockchain Revolution
