MELBOURNE, 30 AUGUST 2019 –Saudi Arabian cybersecurity specialist and women’s rights activist Manal al-Sharif, who was imprisoned by authorities after daring to drive a car, will deliver the keynote speech at a groundbreaking conference and awards ceremony exploring the changing role of women in cybersecurity.
In an interview with CSO contributors Ira Winkler and Araceli Treu Gomes, the cybersecurity guru discusses why he wants someone literate in technology to run the country.
The depths a phishing scammer will stoop to in order to gain a buck are remarkable. Here are some of the bottom feeders to guard against in your inbox.
From televisions to passenger planes, even the most unassuming device can, if accessed by the wrong people, be turned into something more sinister.

To use Cloud computing securely requires companies to know where their data is stored and who has access to
it. Ironically, the reason Cloud is so popular is because organisations don't want to worry about these details.

Security analysts have been predicting the emergence of mobile malware for many years.
In 2011, the criminals have finally come through by attacking Google's popular Android

Looking ahead, it seems a cataclysmic Cloud failure is just around the corner.
