The Information Security Office will host a virtual panel discussion, “Current and Future Challenges in Cybersecurity,” on Monday October 23, at 11 a.m. The discussion will wrap up this year’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month events. Attendees must register to join the free event.
Panelists include Michael Tran Duff, Chief Information Security Officer and Data Privacy Officer (CISDPO) at Harvard University; Allison Henry, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at University of California, Berkeley; and Jeremy Rosenberg, CISO of Yale University.
Current and future challenges in cybersecurity panel topics
The panel of thought leaders will discuss cybersecurity at the personal, institutional and societal level with a focus on higher education. Panelists will share their views on trends in cybersecurity, including:
- Has cybersecurity made headway in making the technical underpinnings of society safer?
- Are we fighting tomorrow’s cyber battles with yesterday’s methods?
- How does anyone keep up with the emerging threats and creative new uses of technology?
- What’s likely to stay the same and what’s changing in how we think about and respond to cyber risks?
