Computer Malware
Malware refers to unwanted software that can damage computers, including viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, and more. Viruses attach to files and programs to spread without permission and can damage systems. Trojans also spread unwittingly but allow hackers to access and control infected devices. Worms multiply to use up memory and resources. Spyware collects personal information without consent. Users can protect against malware through antivirus software, firewalls, safe computing habits like avoiding suspicious downloads and emails, and using strong passwords.
Cyber Security
Cybersafety is the safe and responsible use of information and communication technology. It is about keeping information safe and secure, but also about being responsible with that information, being respectful of other people online, and using good 'netiquette' (internet etiquette).
Cyber Security-Foundation.ppt
Cyber security refers to technologies, processes, and practices designed to protect networks, devices, programs, and data from attacks, damage or unauthorized access. The top threats include phishing, malware like viruses and ransomware, identity theft, and business email compromise. To protect information according to the CIA triad, systems aim to maintain confidentiality by restricting access, integrity by preventing unauthorized data changes, and availability by ensuring authorized access. Common vulnerabilities are exploited by threats. Cyber security professionals work to mitigate these threats and vulnerabilities through technical and organizational measures.

Hacking involves unauthorized access to someone's computer or online account, with email hacking being common since it contains user information. Viruses are computer programs that spread between devices and interfere with operations, often through email attachments or downloads. To protect against viruses, people should use firewalls, updated antivirus software, avoid suspicious emails/downloads, and back up files regularly. Spamming floods inboxes with duplicate messages for advertising. Online frauds and scams are perpetrated by fake sellers using bogus products and investment schemes. Cyberstalking uses the internet to harass individuals or groups.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
