The purpose of LP WS is to function as the primary source of cyber data\, which will support the identification and detection of emerging trends and cyberattacks. LPW S aims to monitor threats at a national\, organisation and private level u sing a collection of deception technologies. Products offered by LPWS incl ude raw data sets\, available for use by universities\, cyber threat repor ts\, as well as the Honey Net Kit - a miniaturized but deployable prototyp e of LPWS.\n\nhttps://events.chpc.ac.za/event/98/contributions/1600/ LOCATION: URL:https://events.chpc.ac.za/event/98/contributions/1600/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The Internet of Things and Information Warfare DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20211202T101500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20211202T104500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260608T112134Z UID:indico-contribution-539-1558@events.chpc.ac.za DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Brett van Niekerk (University of KwaZulu-Natal)\nWit h the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution\, there is a rise of conn ected ‘smart’ devices called the Internet of things (IoT). This has po ssible implications for the network architecture and exhibits an increase in the variety and volume of data that needs to be catered for on networks . In addition\, IoT has been seen to result in a broader attack surface fo r information warfare as well as the utilisation of compromised IoT device s to conduct attacks that have disrupted large networks. The presentation will provide an overview of IoT-related security incidents and focus on th e security considerations of IoT\, as well as information warfare attacks enabled by IoT.\n\nhttps://events.chpc.ac.za/event/98/contributions/1558/ LOCATION: URL:https://events.chpc.ac.za/event/98/contributions/1558/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Electronic signatures security DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20211202T093000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20211202T100000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260608T112134Z UID:indico-contribution-539-1568@events.chpc.ac.za DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Sune Von Solms (University of Johannesburg)\nMany co mpanies are joining the worldwide drive toward a paperless environment. Th e utilisation of digital documents\, contracts or approval forms can save organisations large costs and time as documents can be electronically sign ed and transmitted to their destination within minutes. Electronic signatu res can bring many advantages\, but a review of the current situation show s many cybersecurity threats around the signing of documents in a digital form. Many companies are still in the early phases of utilising electronic signatures\, with many potential opportunities for manipulation. This pap er discusses the various types of electronic signatures\, how they can be exploited and recommends general security measures individuals and organis ations can follow in order to use electronic signatures more securely.\n\n https://events.chpc.ac.za/event/98/contributions/1568/ LOCATION: URL:https://events.chpc.ac.za/event/98/contributions/1568/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:South African Universities in a Time Of Increasing Disruption DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20211202T090000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20211202T093000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260608T112134Z UID:indico-contribution-539-1564@events.chpc.ac.za DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Johan Coetzee (University of the Free State)\nThe Fo urth Industrial Revolution (4IR) and the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-1 9) have disrupted the higher education environment in unprecedented ways. This presentation is based on research conducted by the Faculty of Economi c and Management Sciences at the University of the Free State that identif ies the impact of increasing disruption driven by the 4IR and COVID-19 on the content and curriculum design of degree programmes in economic and man agement sciences offered by South African universities. The setting is six South African and five top-tier US and UK universities. The study used a non-positivist qualitative research design and specifically the case-study approach. A document analysis of the information in university yearbooks and prospectuses was conducted\, using a purposive sampling design. The re sults indicate that an online presence will become more important due to i ncreased disruption\, and will not only ensure an additional revenue strea m\, but also promote continuity in operations and mitigate threats from co mpetitors. COVID-19 has accelerated the extent of this disruption and expe dited the migration to online teaching and learning platforms. Furthermore \, since science\, technology\, engineering and mathematics are integral t o the majority of 4IR-related modules\, South African universities must no t shy away from degree programmes that ignore inter- and multi-disciplinar y curriculum designs. Coupled with the challenges facing the majority of S outh African students to access electronic devices\, data and the internet \, COVID-19 has thrust this challenge to the forefront in the South Africa n higher education landscape. By comparing the developments in South Afric an universities with those in trendsetting\, top-tier\, global universitie s\, management can assess the extent to which they are internationally com petitive and adapting to the demands of the 4IR.\n\nhttps://events.chpc.ac .za/event/98/contributions/1564/ LOCATION: URL:https://events.chpc.ac.za/event/98/contributions/1564/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
