SUMMARY:Cybersecurity in 2022: Growing Threats\, And What You Can Do
DESCRIPTION:As Covid pandemic measures have pushed people and businesses increasingly online and remote\, cybercriminals have pivoted as well\, exploiting weaknesses in these technologies. Always a present threat\, today’s exploits are now automated\, pushing us to automate our defense as well. Many threats — even if larger in scale — remain the same. Phishing\, credential re-use\, known vulnerable components\, the traditional attacks continue to provide criminals with a steady stream of access to private networks and personal data. It seems that nobody\, and no company or agency\, is safe from cyber theft. \nWhat can we do? Fortunately\, lessons learned from watching adversaries can also be applied to improve our defenses. Proactively looking for indicators of compromise\, adding two-factor authentication\, and thwarting credential re-use are easier today than ever before. \nJoin us as Gabe Schuyler\, a cybersecurity expert now with WizIO\, explains the types of computer and network vulnerabilities and how they are exploited\, as well as examples of a variety of attack types and threats\, why they happen and what should be done to prevent or recover from them. Gabe will close with some very practical advice on what organizations\, and you\, can do to be more secure against cyberthreats. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Exploring Tech & Society Through Sci-Fi: Austin Forum Sci-Fi Book Club
DESCRIPTION:We will kick off the Austin Forum Sci-Fi book club with Neil Stephenson’s “Snow Crash\,” a novel that inspired many of the ideas and terms we use in technology today! While “Snow Crash” isn’t a new novel — it was nominated for the Arthur C. Clarke Award in 1994 — the ideas and lessons about technology influence remain relevant today. \nOur book club focus is on how technology’s influence on society is imagined by creative writers who are extrapolating into possible futures or alternate outcomes — and what this can inform (warn?) us about how we’re allowing technology to influence society today. No spoiler alerts\, but “Snow Crash” is the perfect book to discuss first\, especially coming after our big March presentation event on cybersecurity. Our awesome book club group leader\, Julie Tomlin\, will ensure everyone gets to share their own analysis\, ideas\, concerns\, and more. \nSign up\, read the book\, and join us for a wonderful evening discussion that will surely expand your perspective on technology & society.
