Bournemouth University
Speaker: Dr Edward Apeh, Lecturer in Computing
The line that separates our physical existence and the cyber landscape is becoming increasingly blurry with our daily activities moving online and our actions online having a direct consequence on our daily existence.
Our personal data facilitate these transactions and interactions. They enable and sustain the idea of a “free” internet in which personal data is exchanged for “free” apps and access to information. This has made personal data highly valuable in the cyber landscape. So much so that a vast array of encryption technologies and legislation such as the Data Protection Act have been put in place to protect and govern the use of our personal data.
The talk highlights importance of our personal data in the cyber landscape. The legitimate and illegitimate use of our personal data is outlined along with the mechanisms to keep our personal data secure and procedures for handling circumstances when the security of our personal data is compromised.
Open to all staff and students. FREE Papa John’s pizza for first 30 audience members.
