Digital Forensics Professor Iain Sutherland spoke at the NorTex ONS Breakfast Seminar.
This week Stavanger is host to NorTex ONS 2016, a major event in the Oil and Gas Industry. Representatives from as far as the USA and Saudi Arabia pack the 10 exhibition halls showcasing the latest in technology. It is also an opportunity for experts in the field to get together to discuss the challenges that face the industry.
Professor Iain Sutherland presented at the GCE-NODE NorTex breakfast meeting. The presentation was followed by a lively discussion, focused on the security issues associated with 'Big Data' solutions in the Oil and Gas Industry.
The rise in cyber attacks, ransomware and hacking has created a critical need for skilled digital investigators with the ability to respond to cyber security incidents.
This programme provides a pragmatic IT education specifically designed to equip individuals with the skills necessary to combat hacking and cybercrime. The acute demand for IT security expertise provides excellent employment opportunities.
The need for network and systems administration skills has never been greater. The management, configuration and administration of data networks and servers has evolved from being the domain of IT companies to a pervasive influence across multiple industries.
