Cyberattacks are malicious actions taken by individuals, groups, or organizations against computer systems, networks, and digital devices with the intent to damage, steal or manipulate data, or disrupt normal operations. These attacks can target anyone, from individuals to governments and large corporations, and can cause severe damage to both personal and professional lives.
On Oct. 22, the University of Texas at Austin's Center for Identity presented “The Internet of Things,” a webcast focused on providing actionable tips for navigating an increasingly connected world. John Danaher, President of TransUnion Interactive, discussed the latest advances in connected technology, the challenges they pose to our personally identifiable information (PII), and ways we can safeguard our PII while remaining connected.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
1. Cyber Security Awareness
Advice for Individuals and Businesses
(based on training from the Digital Police Community Support Officer)
2. Presentation Contents
• Need for Cyber Security
• Threats:
• Hacking
• Malware
• Phishing
• Stay Secure
• Internet Shopping
• Internet Banking
• Personal Privacy
• Public Wi-Fi
• Passwords
• Router
• Internet of Things (IOT)
• QR Codes
• Support & Resources
3. Why is Cyber Awareness Important?
• Cyber crime is a growing trend
• Raise awareness of threats
• As with most crimes the police can’t tackle this
problem alone
• To encourage reporting
• Promote Government backed scheme ‘Cyber
Essentials’
• Cyber crime is massively under reported.
4. How Cyber crime affects the UK
• Approximately 12.5% of the UK economy is online which is one of
the biggest in the world.
• It poses a risk if the correct security measures aren’t taken.
• In 2016 49% of businesses were breached. It’s not a matter of if but
when.
• According to an Office for National Statistics Survey, there were
almost 6 million Cyber Crime and Fraud offences in 2016, which
means these crime types now make up half of all crime in England
and Wales. That’s 1/10 of people in England and Wales.
7. Common threats - Ransomware
• Normally loaded onto a computer via a download/attachment/link
from an email or website.
• Will either lock the screen or encrypt your data.
• Once Ransomware is uploaded on your computer/tablet/phone it is
very difficult to remove without removing all of the data
• Wannacry attack 2017 - One of the biggest cyber attacks to occur.
• Is said to have hit 300,000 computers in 150 countries.
• Companies affected include; NHS, Renault, FedEx, Spanish telecoms
and gas companies, German railways.
8. Ransomware
• More than a third of NHS trusts in England and Wales were affected with over 6,800 operations
cancelled.
9. How to tackle Ransomware
• Back up- Keep a backed up copy of your data. Ensure its not
permanently connected to the network.
• Patch- Keep your software up to date. Wannacry was successful as
those affected computers hadn’t updated. The update contained a fix
for the problem.
• Attachments- Don’t click on links from emails/SMS as this could easily
be from an untrusted source and contain malware like Ransomware
10. Phishing
• Is the attempt to obtain sensitive information by deception.
• They will be after your login credentials, payment card details or to upload malware to your computer
• The email will normally impersonate a genuine company or person.
How to tackle the problem
• Don’t click any links on an email unless
you can guarantee who its from.
• Use a trusted method of contacting the
company via a phone number, app or
website.
• Mark the email as spam and contact the
organisation.
11. What to look out for when shopping on the
internet?
• Ensure you’re on the correct website
• HTTPS and the padlock- The ‘S’ stands for secure,
this means you have a secure connection to the
website. This should prevent a ‘man in the middle’
attack. It encrypts your data and the receiver will be
able to decrypt it but if it is a fraudulent website
they will still obtain your information.
• Use a credit card/ PayPal when conducting online
transactions.

16. Public Wi-Fi
• May not be trustworthy. They could share your information to other
companies who operate in countries without any data protection.
• You may not know who is watching you whilst you’re online.
What to do and not do to
• Don’t use online banking. Use your own data.
• Don’t conduct any purchases
• Use a virtual private network (VPN)

20. Passwords Advice
• Use 1 password per account.
• Three random words is the NCSC’s advice. Capitals, special characters
and numbers is your own choice.
• If you follow this advice your passwords security will be significantly
increased against a brute force attack.
• Password managers can be helpful to store your passwords.
21. Advice
• In the physical world we’re good at protecting ourselves and our
property, we need to replicate this in the digital world.
• 80% of cyber-crime is preventable.
• QR Codes
22. Advice
• Update and migrate
• Activate your firewall
• Staff awareness
• Data encryption
• User accounts privileges i.e admin
• Cyber insurance
• Prepare Plan
23. You are the best defence!
• Technology is only a small part of Cyber Defence
• You are the most important person – protect yourself
• For businesses the most important and best defence is Cyber Security
Aware employees – train your staff
Always be aware!
Always be on your guard!
