This week we are running a Q&A on cyber security with National Fraud Authority and Dr Sue Black. If you have a question about cyber security in your home, what you can do to ensure you and your family are 'Cyber Streetwise', or a question pertaining to a specific aspect of using the internet safely then Sue will be happy to help.
Sue is currently working with the Home Office and National Fraud Authority on the government's 'Cyber Streetwise' campaign which aims to change the way people protect themselves while online, in order to avoid falling victim to cyber criminals.
Psychology and tech experts tell us that people don't always pay as much attention while online as they do when in the 'real world'. For example, you wouldn't leave your handbag open while shopping, so you should also be careful when entering your credit card details online. The speed of technology means we often forget the simple things we can do ensure we are secure online.
Sue is an award-winning computer scientist and radical thinker, who brings people together to solve complex issues. She's a senior research associate in the Department of Computer Science at University College London, who is a champion for women in computing and recently launched Savvify, a social enterprise which aims to empower people through technology. Savvify is currently running #techmums a program to get mums tech savvy.
Post your questions to Sue before 9am Monday 3rd February and we'll send over a selection and post her answers up on this thread on the 10th February.
