00:00:08.380 --> 00:00:10.650 align:middle line:84%
With so much of our
personal information online

00:00:10.650 --> 00:00:13.860 align:middle line:84%
and ever increasing numbers
of internet connected devices,

00:00:13.860 --> 00:00:16.870 align:middle line:84%
it's worth taking stock
and asking ourselves

00:00:16.870 --> 00:00:19.430 align:middle line:90%
"what are the risks?"

00:00:19.430 --> 00:00:21.040 align:middle line:84%
On this course, we
will introduce you

00:00:21.040 --> 00:00:24.230 align:middle line:84%
to some current key topics
in cyber security research

00:00:24.230 --> 00:00:27.550 align:middle line:84%
and show how they
relate to everyday life.

00:00:27.550 --> 00:00:29.830 align:middle line:84%
Over three weeks we
will look at privacy

00:00:29.830 --> 00:00:36.400 align:middle line:84%
online, payment safety and
security in the connected home.

00:00:36.400 --> 00:00:39.630 align:middle line:84%
We will approach these topics
from different viewpoints:

00:00:39.630 --> 00:00:43.600 align:middle line:84%
We will look at the user's
perspective and that

00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.260 align:middle line:90%
of business.

00:00:45.260 --> 00:00:48.030 align:middle line:84%
We'll step into the shoes of
fraudsters and online criminals

00:00:48.030 --> 00:00:51.690 align:middle line:84%
to find out more about
their intent and motivation.

00:00:51.690 --> 00:00:54.640 align:middle line:84%
And each week we'll finish
with an expert perspective,

00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:57.040 align:middle line:84%
and introduce you to the
practical research underway

00:00:57.040 --> 00:00:59.400 align:middle line:84%
at Newcastle University's
School of Computing Science

00:00:59.400 --> 00:01:03.210 align:middle line:84%
to protect systems and users
against vulnerabilities.

00:01:03.210 --> 00:01:05.540 align:middle line:84%
By the end of the course
you'll be in better position

00:01:05.540 --> 00:01:08.010 align:middle line:84%
to make informed choices
on the trade-offs you

00:01:08.010 --> 00:01:11.830 align:middle line:84%
are prepared to make between
security and convenience.

00:01:11.830 --> 00:01:18.413 align:middle line:90%
