October 7th - Cybersecurity

Our speaker is Awais Rashid, Professor of Cyber Security in the School of Computer Science at Bristol University.

Join us for a fascinating talk on cybersecurity in the modern world with Professor Awais Rashid, a leading expert in the field. Professor Rashid researches how we can build software that is flexible and resilient in the face of ever-changing user needs and digital threats.

His work focuses on protecting complex systems like industrial control systems and the Internet of Things (IoT)—the networks that connect everything from smart home devices to critical infrastructure. He also studies how criminals adapt their methods online, and how we can stay one step ahead.

Professor Rashid leads national research projects on both the technical and human sides of cybersecurity, and is a Fellow of the Alan Turing Institute. Expect an engaging, real-world look at the challenges and solutions shaping our digital future.
