Title: Privacy and Anonymity in the Digital Era: Principles, Risks, and Practical Solutions
Abstract: In an increasingly interconnected digital world, safeguarding personal privacy, anonymity, and security has become a critical concern. Privacy, anonymity, and security are foundational pillars in the digital age, yet they face mounting challenges due to rapid technological advancements and pervasive data collection practices. This talk will cover key definitions, common threats, and the benefits of privacy-aware behavior. It will also examine emerging technologies and their associated risks, along with the impact of data collection practices. The session will introduce Fair Information Principles (FIPs) and provide practical guidance on selecting tools and strategies to safeguard personal data in today’s digital landscape.

Title: Securing the Future: Addressing Cybersecurity Workforce Challenges through Inclusion, AI-readiness, and Global Cooperation.
Abstract: As intelligent networks and systems evolve, so must the cybersecurity workforce that protects them. In this keynote, Dr. Yulia Cherdantseva addresses the pressing challenges facing the global cyber workforce, including persistent skills shortages, misalignment between industry needs and educational pathways, and the underrepresentation of women and other marginalised groups. The talk explores the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence on cybersecurity roles, examining the tension between automation and augmentation where AI may replace certain tasks while simultaneously enhancing human capabilities. This duality presents both opportunities and disruptions, requiring a strategic approach to workforce development. Dr. Cherdantseva will emphasise the importance of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in building a resilient and innovative workforce, and offer practical guidance for individuals entering or advancing in the field. This includes a focus on continuous professional development and the growing need for AI literacy, understanding generative AI risks, principles of AI governance, and secure AI deployment practices. Drawing on the Cyber Security Body of Knowledge (CyBOK), the keynote will illustrate how formalised knowledge frameworks can support both individuals and institutions in navigating the complexity of cybersecurity knowledge, skills and careers. The session will also reflect on internationalisation and global staff mobility, underscoring the need for collaborative, cross-border approaches to workforce development in an increasingly interconnected world.
