    There are a couple of announcements discussed in the class.

    1. We are excited to announce a guest lecture from TPG Telecom , providing an industry-deep dive into securing enterprise networks.

    • Location: Robert Webster Building, Theatre A

    Abstract:
    Red and purple teaming offer valuable insights into the effectiveness of cyber security products and controls. By simulating real-world attacks from nation-state threat actors, organisations can gauge their vulnerability and answer the critical question: 'How easily can we be hacked?'. In this presentation, experts from TPG Telecom red and blue teams will delve into the inner workings of red and purple teams, exploring how they proactively protect against threats. Get ready for gripping 'war stories' about network attacks that echo the very threats discussed in this course – a unique opportunity to learn from real-world experiences.

    Networking & Careers:
    Following the presentation, students will have the opportunity for networking and discussions with the TPG team. This is a fantastic chance to discuss career pathways, industry expectations, and your professional goals with seasoned practitioners.
