Jason Nurse , Assistant professor at the University of Kent, presenting a talk entitled "Online data and the pursuit of privacy", on the Technology Stage, at New Scientist Live 2019


We often hear quotes like “data is the new oil!” and “we live in a big data society!”. But, why exactly is data so valuable? And in particular, why is your data so valuable? Join Jason Nurse as he engages in an interactive, informative, frank and research-based talk about your online data. Jason will cover what types of data you willingly and unknowingly expose online, how that data is gathered or used by others, such as organisations, big tech, and advertising firms. And how new forms of technology such as smart tech and AI make privacy even harder to achieve. To wrap up, Jason provides some tips that we all can use to protect ourselves online, and guard what privacy we have left! Jason Nurse is an assistant professor in cyber security at the University of Kent and a visiting academic at the University of Oxford. For the last 12 years, Jason’s research has explored the interaction between people and aspects of cyber security, privacy and trust. This considers topics such as data security and privacy online, privacy and security concerns with smart devices, fake news on social media, and dimensions of cybercrime. His interdisciplinary research has led to him being nominated as a rising star within the UK’s EPSRC RISE Awards Campaign. Jason regularly gives keynotes and public lectures, and has spoken at the science festivals across the UK, and numerous conferences across the world.
