Experts predict top security threats to watch out for this year.

When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, it wasn’t only the missiles and airstrikes that made headlines. In the lead-up to the invasion, Russia launched an unprecedented cyberattack on more than a dozen Ukrainian government websites. Two years on, it serves as a reminder that modern-day battlegrounds extend far beyond national borders.

“We used to call it the ‘battleground’, but now it’s called the ‘battlespace’,” says Glenn Maiden, director of threat intelligence operations at FortiGuard Labs Australia and New Zealand, the elite threat intelligence and research arm of cybersecurity company, Fortinet.
“In the old days, war was conducted by the air force, army or navy. In the last 30 to 40 years, the domain of warfare has expanded, with cyberspace becoming the fifth domain,” he says. “That means no matter where we are in the world, every single one of us is in the battlespace.”

Tip #1 - You are a target to hackers

Don't ever say, "It won't happen to me." We are all at risk and the stakes are high - both for your personal and financial well-being  and for the university's standing and reputation. 

  • Cybersecurity is everyone's responsibility.
  • By following the tips below and remaining vigilant, you are doing your part to protect yourself and others.
