Nov. 13th, 2018, Deakin University Cybersecurity Prof. Matthew Warren from Australia presented a series of lectures on cybersecurity, future threats and weak links.

Prof. Warren, who has spent the last 20 years researching cybersecurity in Melbourne says that the idea "that everyone has a right to privacy no longer exists." Youth, and students are freely giving up their privacy and placing private information about their lives on the Internet, he said.

He discussed "Cyber National Protection: an Australian Viewpoint" and then presented a lecture, "Security Risk Analysis: Future Threats and the Weakest Links."

Prof. Warren conducts research in the areas of Cybersecurity, Computer Ethics and Professionalism. He has authored and co-authored over 300 books, book chapters, journal papers and conference papers.

He has received numerous grants and awards from national and international funding bodies, such as the Australian Research Council (ARC); the Engineering Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) in the UK; National Research Foundation in South Africa and the European Union. Professor Warren regularly reviews research proposals submitted to the Australian Research Council and the South African National Research Foundation.

He completed his PhD in Information Security Risk Analysis at the University of Plymouth, United Kingdom. He has taught in Australia, Finland, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom.

Professor Warren is a Fellow of the Australian Computer Society.
