ULETH: Cybersecurity keynote & networ...Description
Cybercrime: Awareness, Prevention, and Response
The more we learn about cybercrime, the better decisions we can make when we are online. Kathy's experience in law enforcement and cyber investigations, provide a real-world glimpse into the criminal element of the Internet. She discusses social engineering tactics, techniques and procedures, and how they are used often in cyber attacks. She discusses the high impact threat from ransomware and spear phishing, and the subsequent risk placed on personally identifiable information when it is sold in the Dark Web. She also presents examples of how the pandemic has led to an exponential increase in online fraud, extortion, revenge porn, and youth and child online sexual abuse. Kathy speaks about the widespread privacy risks impacting the sensitive data found on mobile devices, and emerging security risks involving IoT devices. Her actionable advice reminds Internet users of the importance of being proactive, and responding promptly and effectively to cyber-related incidents.
