Mr. CHEONG Chi Hong
Instructor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering
Designed for
Postgraduate students of all disciplines.
Objectives
Understand security issues in using various digital information technologies; develop a correct attitude and acquire basic skills for protective measures.
Structure
3-hour practice session
Brief Description
Information Technology is pervasive in almost all areas of the modern world. Especially, it is a powerful tool for researchers. However, there are lots of pitfalls and traps lying in information security, from as simple as a faulty memory stick, to complex scenarios such as web phishing attack. The cost of such incidences would be loss of valuable personal and research data, or even serious liabilities, for example, in the case of illegal disclosure of personal data for research purpose. The workshop will go through and evaluate various data security risk factors ranging from using plug-and-play hardware to surfing the Internet. We will also demonstrate and practice the basic defending skills such as configuration of anti-virus software and firewall, installation of digital certificates, password-protecting data, using SSL, patching software, etc.
