Cybersecurity – where we are at
Richard will give an overview of the current state of cybersecurity, structural reasons why we expect systems to remain vulnerable to attack into the foreseeable future, and extrapolate current and emerging trends.
Issues discussed will be how citizens can best make themselves cyber secure, which official advice is useful and which is less useful, and how we can help our friends family and community. We’ll explore issues including trends in privacy and the Australia card 2.0, tradeoffs between security and the impact on individuals, electronic voting, information warfare and foreign influence, and the challenges faced by governments and civil society.
