The IT Centre is organising the Digital Security at the University webinar on 1 October 2026, focusing on current digital security topics at the University. The event will cover topics such as information classification, the Copilot pilot at the University and the latest University information security news. Register and ask your questions about digital security!
The Digital Security at the University webinar is intended for the entire University community and will be held as a Zoom webinar on Thursday 1 October from 9:00 to 11:00 to mark the beginning of European Cybersecurity Month. In the webinar, we will discuss current topics with experts and would also like to hear your questions about digital security – you can submit them in advance when signing up or in the chat during the event. We will also answer questions submitted by students through the Ask about information security survey during this year.
Another good reason to take part: all participants will be entered into a draw for a University-themed prize.
