Vice President, Frank Perez introduced our speaker who is the Sherman-Standard Register Professor of Cybersecurity Management and Director of the Center for Cybersecurity & Data Intelligence, who has also been involved in research on how IT influences small group interaction, and also investigates cyber issues far beyond UD.

 

David started his presentation by showing a graphic of what most of our home's IT network looks like:

He talked about how this network will continue to grow - refrigerators on the Internet are not far off! He warned that the more interconnected we are with the world, the greater chance of exploits. He gave a few hints on how to stay safe at home:

- Sign up for Windows and Microsoft automatic updates.

- Sign up for automatic updates from your anti-virus software and do full scans every week.

- Do backups weekly and then disconnect the backup.

- Don't use the same password at different sites, especially banking sites. Once hackers find a password, they start trying it on banking sites first.

- Lengthy passwords are more effective than complicated ones. Set it as something you can remember, and gave the example of using the first line from Yellow Submarine, but modified something like: In*the*Town*where*!*Was#born.

- Use two-factor authentication whenever possible - where you get a code texted to your phone to enter on the computer.

- Train yourself to avoid "phishing" attacks (which may do bad things like download keystroke loggers)
