Hackers for Hire, Anti-Phishing Training, and More! Using Data to Improve Security Decisions

As more of our world moves to the Internet, cybersecurity becomes an issue that affects everyone. Though the cloak-and-dagger media depiction of cybersecurity may be exaggerated, the reality is that security is, in part, a constant cat-and-mouse game with attackers who are trying to wreak havoc on one side and defenders on the other side, trying to protect users. 

At this Suds and Science, we'll dive into the realities of the world of cybersecurity. We'll talk about historical precedence and how we got to the world we are in today, and where some of the biggest future threats are. We'll also chat about how copious amounts of data can be used to help improve security decisions (including hilarious and counterintuitive outcomes), and finally, what this means for YOU as a person existing on today's Internet.

Lecturer: Ariana Mirian, Senior Security Researcher
