CERIAS: Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security, provides a lecture on Changing Consumer Behavior for Internet Safety. An approach that looks into privacy and security issues in internet. Purdue University, West Lafayette, USA

Lecture Description:

Virus and worm attacks that spread through holes in popular consumer software emphasize the role the online public must play in preserving the safety and integrity of the Internet. To protect the network commons, more users must engage in safe online behavior by such actions as controlling their private information, updating software security patches, downloading protective software, and filtering their email. While network security remains an abstract notion to the general public, online consumers can understand the issue in terms of their personal privacy behavior, actions that result in the undesired disclosure of information and unwanted intrusions on their personal cyberspace. In her talk, Professor Rifon will discuss a social-psychological approach to understanding Internet user privacy and security safety related behaviors.
