CRDF Global is hosting an in-person, 2-day workshop on cyber theft in academia in Singapore with the objective of enhancing the capacity of its academic institutions to defend against and respond to cyber threats posted by criminal entities seeking to acquire proliferation-sensitive research and design data through unauthorized access to computer systems and networks. This training will engage university information technology leaders, cybersecurity professionals, and other stakeholders from teaching and research institutions of higher education.
The training will start on November 7, 2022, and will end on November 8, 2022.
