Privacy, especially anonymity, is tricky, because you don’t want to trust anyone, lest your identity leak, but you must trust someone, or else you cannot communicate. Threat modeling is rarely used in privacy, instead most used for prioritizing security hardening efforts.
Mark Elendt and Jeff Lait are two Academy Award winning developers at SideFX who have a long history in the industry. They will be discussing the unique challenges involved in developing 3D tools for artists and what it’s like to be a software developer in this very exciting industry.
This time last year we saw our 40,000th alumnus cross the stage and we celebrated every graduating student in the Faculty of Mathematics. We can’t do that for the Class of 2020 because of COVID-19. This year’s event will be virtual as we celebrate the 1,200 mathies who deserve a memorable finale for their years of hard work and diligent study. We hope to hold an in-person ceremony as soon as we are able.
Digital adoption and dependence have been dramatically propelled by the COVID-19 pandemic. This sudden growth spotlights critical issues such as cybersecurity, privacy, resilience, the highly consequential shift to 5G, and what innovative technologies may follow. Leadership in 5G adoption will be a vital determinant of future national competitiveness, as 5G will further enable dramatic technological advances in logistics, manufacturing, autonomous vehicles, mining, construction and smart grids.
Please join Women in Computer Science for this free, virtual event with Kathleen Nalty, an expert in strategies to create cultures of inclusion to retain and advance diverse talent.
