Highlights from Cyberly Secured – Weekly workshop series

Session 1:
The introductory session of the ‘Cyberly Secured’ series of workshops was held in collaboration with National Center for Cyber Security (NCCS), NED University on 14-Sep-2022.

Highlights:
The highlight of the session was the live demo of data recovery by the Digital Forensics Expert from NCCS. They recovered even the WhatsApp chats and voice messages apart from images with their geotags and time-stamps, and from company reset phones as well as storage devices that had been overwritten and formatted multiple times. Scary!

Takeaway:
The takeaway was safe electronic waste management. We should be careful about what we put on any digital media and should never sell our cell phones, USB sticks, etc. If the old devices cannot be ‘Archived’ they must be physically broken down and thrown in chunks at multiple places on different days.

Next session – 21-Sep-2022 | 1:00PM-2:00PM | MTS-7 | IBA MC
