NAT: FREE WEBINAR Cyber Hacking and Protecting Your Computers

EVENT CLOSED

Cyber hacking poses a great threat to the information security of organisations and individuals, affecting almost any profession. Translators and interpreters, in their everyday work, need to comply with the confidentiality norm by keeping the information they need to handle safe and secure. However, cyber hacking has become more rampant and has happened in a more hidden way over the past few years. Translators and interpreters may have their information hacked without knowing what happened and how it took place. Therefore, it is important to be vigilant and understand how to protect our information from cyber hacking. In this talk, we will use a virtual computer network to demonstrate what hackers do to penetrate personal computers. Following the demonstration, we discuss some easy but often ignored ways to protect your network-connected computers and digital devices.

Dr Qinyi Li joined the School of Information and Communication Technology at Griffith University as a lecturer in 2019. Dr Li’s research focuses on cryptography that is secure against large-scale quantum computers. He is also doing research on cybersecurity, big data analytics, artificial intelligence and translation technology. Dr Li teaches cybersecurity and data analytics courses for undergraduate and postgraduate students.
