An audience of 45 people welcomed Dr Christopher Richardson, Head of Cyber Security Unit at Bournemouth Uni.

Chris gave a thought provoking rather than technical lecture on our world today and the future.

With the alarming security risks posed by threats today, how do we analyze the changes in the world and identify threats?

Take the Wi-Fi security flaw KRACK which puts all wireless devices at risk

~ 20 billion devices could be hacked overnight (not just computers but mobile phones which also use wireless)

Are people becomming more disconnected in this world of hyperconnectivity?

The singularity (technology improving itself to surpass human intelligence) has the ability to help and harm human civilization

so it is with good reason the national security strategy ranks cyber security as a tier 1 threat.

With a ~ 2million person global shortage of security talent, and cyber related incidents on the rise, it seems this is the field

of opportunity!
