Cybersecurity Panel: Is Smart Technology Increasing Your Risk for Cyber Attacks?

Cybersecurity issues extend far beyond phishing attacks. As smart technology continues to grow and improve business operations, daily activities, and education, it also presents significant risks to our physical safety and comfort. Achieving complete security online is an unrealistic goal, thus making prevention through education and proactive measures essential.

A recent virtual panel hosted by the Georgia Tech Alumni Association explored these challenges. The discussion, titled "Is Smart Technology Increasing Your Risk for Cyber Attacks?" featured Saman Zonouz, director of the Online Master of Science in Cybersecurity (OMS Cybersecurity) Cyber-Physical Systems track; Larry Truong, OMS Cybersecurity alumnus; and Victoria Joh, B.S. Computer Science alumna. Evan Johnson, B.S. Computer Science alum and director of IT & Data Operations for the Georgia Tech Alumni Association, moderated the event.
