Welcome to King's College London's Annual Informatics School's Lecture, delivered by Dr Kovila Coopamootoo on the afternoon of 10 December 2025 at the College's Strand Campus, exploring the vital topics of cybersecurity and privacy, highlight research helping to keep us all safe online.
The internet is present in almost every corner of our modern lives, with mobile technology giving us access almost anywhere at any time. Whilst this has made our lives better in many ways, it has also made us potentially more exposed to harms, for example from bad actors or from other online platform users.
Thankfully, computer scientists across the world are working against these bad actors, helping to enhance the safety of all internet users, and keep digital spaces safe and welcoming.
Join Dr Kovila Coopamootoo to explore the world of cybersecurity, privacy and online safety, to see how researchers at King’s are working to keep the internet safe. Kovila will explore the challenges in ensuring users' security and privacy online, in particular for at-risk users like children or migrants, and risky situations such as sharing your personal information and content online.
