Cybercrime is now one of the biggest threats to digital preservation. It is also a threat that can affect every one of us.
But understanding this threat, and deploying methods to prevent it, can feel daunting and complex. Typical essential digital preservation processes such as handling materials from unknown provenance, working with hazardous file formats, and administering secure access, can add further complexity. The priceless value of the collections that we preserve – which equate to a bigger target for cybercrime - creates a further dimension.
Coming together to learn about different approaches, hear about the experiences of others and make new connections can support our overall community resilience when tackling this challenging subject.
This watch party in the Australasia and Asia-Pacific time zone will show recordings of some of the talks from the DPC's cybersecurity event on 18 June. We will be joined by the co-authors of DPC’s new Technology Watch Guidance Notes on cybersecurity, Heather Lowrie, Director of Resilionix, and Garth Stewart, DPC Head of Good Practice, who will summarise their work and invite further discussion on the day. So please, come and join us!
All presentations will be recorded and made available to DPC Members and Supporters via this web page after the event (login to DPC website required).
Recordings will also be shared with non-members who pay to attend the event.
Please note – DPC Members do not need to register in order to access the recordings after the event.
