EnVision Series 4: COVID 19- A Dialogue on Cyber Hygiene for E-interactions During Social Distancing
Topic: COVID 19- A Dialogue on Cyber Hygiene for E-interactions During Social Distancing
During the COVID-19 Work-From-Home (WFH) period, we have seen a huge surge in the number of business meetings and even transactions being conducted over the Cyberspace. Even after the circuit-breaker exit, this pattern is expected to persist. However, the questions remain:
1)How are we able to communicate confidential business discussion?
2)How are we able to exchange sensitive information with business partners?
3)How are we able to exchange customer private (and company confidential) information with office colleagues?
4)What are the security challenges and regulatory concerns?
5)What are some practical approaches to overcome the challenges?
In this seminar, Prof Lam Kwok Yan and Mr Albert Ching discussed the cybersecurity and privacy concerns, introduced a holistic, practical approach and some best industry practices to help secure your online interactions.
