Security flaws, hackers and data breaches are the new normal. It’s not simply industry facing these foes every single day; it’s ordinary people. Both online and offline, personal information is being digitised in systems which are often left vulnerable and exploited at the whim of attackers.
Hear from the creator of “Have I Been Pwned”, Troy Hunt, as he talks to Professor of Practice Ciaran Martin about the lessons he has learned after processing 15 billion records of breached data. You will get a glimpse behind the scenes of what caused some of these devastating incidents and how they continue to wreak havoc today, despite how much more aware the industry is becoming. It’s a frightening and eye-opening look at privacy and data breaches in the digital age.
This event is part of the Global Tech Policy Seminar Series and the Oxford Programme for Cyber and Technology Policy.
