When considering cybersecurity, the technology that enables Second Life can be thought of as a chain of related systems. This chain starts with your personal computer and works through various software and network layers that enable presence, communications, and amazing capabilities in a rich virtual space.
In Cybersecurity, Second Life & Real Life, Erik will walk participants through each link in that chain and consider some reasonable measures for security, safety, and privacy along the way. He will also cover larger cybersecurity issues like cyberkinetics, digital currencies, and human-computer interaction.

Erik Moore teaches courses like systems defense, digital forensics, and malware analysis in the Cybersecurity graduate program at Regis University. He was a founding director of the Colorado Front Range Center for Information Assurance Studies and is a Vice Chair of the International Federation of Information Processing Working Group on Information Security Education.

During the day, he is the director of a large school district network. He uses Second Life to test innovations in classroom design, teach cyber-physical security, and to develop collaborative solution models for incident response.
