Our Cybersecurity discussion will be hosted by Alastair Irons, Academic Dean for the Faculty of Computer Science and Professor of Computer Science at the University of Sunderland. Alastair will open our evening with an overview of the current cybersecurity environment.

This introduction will be followed by an opportunity for delegates to discuss the challenges and opportunities in cybersecurity with fellow attendees and the MSc Students from the University who have been working to identify issues in the cybersecurity domain and will have their recent work on researching issues on cybersecurity on display.

Delegates will also have this unique opportunity to propose cybersecurity projects that they can use the students to undertake between February and May. These projects could potentially be anything from a document review, an incident investigation or a mini internship.

Alastair will then close the evening with a summary of findings and discussion points.

This event takes place in the David Goldman Informatics Centre which is on the St Peters Campus next to the National Glass Centre. Parking is available two minutes' walk from the building entrance and is free from 6pm. Light refreshments will be provided. Start at 6.30pm prompt.
