SUMMARY:Tracking the Trackers: Your privacy vs Online ads!
DESCRIPTION:\nDr Jason Nurse\, Assistant Professor in Cyber Security\, Univ
 ersity of Kent\nOnline advertising is big business. Firms can launch targe
 ted ad campaigns suited to what they believe we want\, or to influence our
  beliefs in particular ways. To allow such targeting\, organisations const
 antly explore new ways to gather information about us\, often at the expen
 se of our privacy. This spans traditional web tracking\, smartphone apps a
 nd new technologies (e.g. smart-tech). In this talk\, Dr Jason Nurse demys
 tifies how online advertising works\, the tricks advertisers use to track 
 users\, and what the risks to us are. Dr Nurse’s talk also covers what t
 ypes of data we willingly and unknowingly expose online\, and how new form
 s of technology such as smart-tech and AI make privacy even harder to achi
 eve. Finally\, the talk also provides some tools and tips that can be used
  to protect oneself online.\nBio:\nMy research focuses on the interaction 
 between users and aspects of cyber security\, privacy and trust. This cons
 iders the full spectrum of technologies in use today and encompasses topic
 s such as:\n\n 	security and privacy in the internet of things (IoT) and s
 ocial media (with an organisational and personal device focus)\;\n 	usable
  security as well as security awareness programmes in organisations and fo
 r the public\;\n 	technical and psychological aspects of cybercrime (e.g.\
 , insider threat\, phishing susceptibility and ransomware)\n 	identity sec
 urity and privacy risks in cyberspace (this also considers areas such as o
 pen-source intelligence)\;\n 	detection of fake news and rumours (or conve
 rsely\, trustworthy content) on social media\; and\n 	corporate security i
 n light of new forms of technology (e.g.\, IoT\, wearables and cyber-insur
 ance)\n\nhttps://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/jrcn/\n\nJason gave us a t
 alk in May 2018 Cybersecurity: What keeps me up at night! A very interesti
 ng and frankly rather scary talk it was too. If you remember it or watch t
 he video on our website https://oxon.bcs.org/videos/ you will know what a 
 treat this talk will be.\n\nMeetings are free to attend and non-BCS member
 s are welcome. It is helpful to us if you register\, for catering purposes
 \, but not essential.
