Today we are joined by an expert in cyber security, Shireen Syed, the University of Newcastle’s Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). Shireen’s job is to not only help secure students and teachers but so many elements in between including cyber security strategy and incident response. Shireen gives us a rundown of what her day-to-day looks like, what is expected of her in her role as CISO and walks us through her career path leading up to this position.
We learn about the unique challenges a university faces when securing their environment - with bespoke gadgets and intellectual property being developed, where do you start trying to secure these?
Finally, Shireen shares her perspective on how exciting the cyber security industry is and promotes how to get women interested and engaged in cyber. Shireen also gives our listeners some tips on staying safe online. We hope you enjoy!
