SHARON, Pa. — The Faculty Lecture Series at Penn State Shenango continues with a presentation by Dima Rabadi, assistant professor of cybersecurity, at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 1. The presentation, titled “Effective Malware Detection and Classification Methods,” will educate the audience about state-of-the-art malware detection techniques and best practices. 

"Nowadays, and particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic, cybersecurity has become an indispensable commitment for everyone,” Rabadi said. “Although most organizations are performing outstanding achievements in detecting cyberattacks, individuals need to be more educated on strengthening their human firewalls, which are more targeted than regular computer firewalls.” 

Admission to the 2022-23 Lecture Series is free and open to the public; however, registration is required. Visitors can register at shenango.psu.edu/lectureseries. Location information will be provided upon registration. Questions about the Faculty Lecture Series can be directed to Tasha Lambert at 724-983-2825.  

Penn State reserves the right to alter or cancel any portion of this event at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to shifts in the status of the pandemic, relevant and applicable guidance, or individual participants violating University policy.
