Dr Laura Vitis is a Lecturer in Criminology in the University of Liverpool in Singapore. Her research examines gender, technology and violence; risk and sexual offences and media in the criminal justice system.

Ng Yi Ling is an Information Security professional with a global Fortune 500 bank. Throughout her 14-year career, she has dabbled in both the mundane (but necessary) and exciting parts of IS. Cybersecurity is, by far, the most fascinating domain that she has had the privilege of experiencing and working on to date – the consistently random evolution of cyber threats and countermeasures, facts and myths, and depth of skills and knowledge in play juxtaposed with a breadth of barely-there visibility. She claims no expertise or mastery in this field but believes in the maxim that “Information is King; Knowledge is Power” and that through sharing and working together as a community, cybersecurity preparedness will cease to be a case of “what” but “when.”
