"Tool to Reduce the Risk of Online User Privacy Breaches"

An Australia Research Council (ARC) Linkage Project Grant has been awarded to Victoria University researchers in support of developing a tool to reduce the risk of online user privacy breaches. In collaboration with the Information Technology (IT) company AsyncWorking, the automated tool will focus on industries and government, helping them adjust to users' personal security requirements and enabling secure data sharing. Professor Hua Wang, the lead researcher, noted that general server providers might not offer the most effective security measures because they are costly and time-consuming, thus increasing the risk of security breaches. The privacy-preserving system would boost the Australian economy by enhancing cybersecurity across commercial businesses and government agencies, minimizing the risks associated with data mismanagement. This article continues to discuss the project aimed at enhancing cybersecurity.
