Cyber security: information security and keeping safe online

Whether socially, at work or in your studies, we spend a large proportion of our time online. But we need to be careful: there are many sophisticated scams and attempts to steal our data wherever we look. 
In this session we will be talking with IT security experts from the Open University to look at some of the threats that are out there and we will hear about some helpful tips on how to protect ourselves when working online.
