Guest Speaker at Cardiff University

Invited by Complex Systems Research Group in University of Cardiff to present my talk "A holistic view on Cyber Security in evolutionary terms (food-for-thought)". This is also part of our OWASP (OWASP London Chapter) initiative to reach out to Universities and share expert knowledge in the security and cybersecurity space.

Feedback:
"The talk was one of the most useful I have attended during my PhD because it is unusual to speak to someone who can relate between research and industry in cyber security. It was really encouraging and made me look forward to working in the space after my PhD" Matilda Rhode 

"Very Inspiring and a Great Talk" Irene Anthi

Basic HTML Meta Tags

I have been maintaining my own list of preferable meta tags and the content I usually include based on my practical experience and experimentation of what works best. Overtime, in this post I will be sharing some of the tags and how I am using them. 

In the meantime, I came across this post on GitHub, which I found very comprehensive and wanted to share it with you.

Cyber Security Awareness Month 2018



October is known as Cyber Security Awareness Month and in the US it is commonly referred as National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM). This is a global initiative to raise awareness on emerging Cyber threats and best practices to defend against them, while educating the public and the private sector, on how to tackle cyber security challenges in a fast-evolving digital ecosystem.
Security’ is the enabler for evolving and scaling up in a secure manner, while minimising the risk of being affected at an irrecoverable level.
Cyber Security is promoted at an impressive rate during this month, with several awareness campaigns taking place. Typically, these campaigns focus on giving advice around having best-in-class practices when it comes to Cyber Security, sharing thoughts around exposure to unnecessary risk and try to communicate the benefits from having a Cyber Resilience strategy in place, while discussions around defence-in-depth tend to spawn recommendations around different products and services that might help an organisation’s security practice. 

To achieve this, during October several events take place to engage and educate the information security community, while focusing on sharing knowledge, lessons learned, and forward-looking ideas.
