Cyber Security Week and International Data Protection Day 2024

Cyber Security and Data Protection Training - Thursday 25th January, 12 - 1pm

Are you Cyber Security ready? Do you know what to do if a cyber-attack strikes? Would you know who to contact and what steps to take to protect your Trinity teaching, research or administrative data or IT equipment? 

To mark International Data Protection Day 2024, we are hosting Cyber Security and Data Protection online training for Trinity staff in collaboration with the Data Protection Office. Join the Trinity Cyber Security Manager Sara McAneney, Cyber Security Specialist Amir Bijedic and the Data Protection Officer John Eustace, who will take you through what to do in the event of a cyber-attack.  

The session will cover the types of cyber-attacks that staff may experience in Trinity, from phishing and viruses to ransomware. It will include helpful information on the steps staff should take to protect themselves from attacks and to successfully recover. Sara, Amir, and John will provide all the latest updates in the areas of cyber security, data protection, and GDPR.
