Description :
Every day, we hear about sophisticated new cyberattacks infiltrating major corporations and governments. How does the ordinary citizen protect their phones, computers, and online accounts from this continuous assault? We will start this course by exploring cybercriminals' motivations and methods. Then, using that knowledge, we will uncover three simple strategies for significantly improving personal cybersecurity. Instructor: Eric Byres (PEng, ISA Fellow) is an internationally recognized expert on cybersecurity for critical infrastructures - the systems that are essential to our safety and way of life, like power, water and transportation. He has advised government intelligence agencies and major energy companies around the world, testified before the US Congress and is the recipient of numerous international awards, including the IEEE Outstanding Industry Applications Article Prize and the ISA Donald P. Eckman Education Award. Eric was made a fellow of the International Society of Automation (ISA) in 2009 and given their highest honour, the ISA Excellence in Leadership, in 2013.
