IT Services has recently launched the ITBytes podcast, hosted by Noelette Hurley featuring Deirdre Keane and produced by Eoin O’Sullivan. ITBytes will chat about all things IT in UCC and introduce you to a variety of guests from UCC staff, students, alumni and beyond. It aims to inform, demystify IT and share some interesting stories with the guests featured on the podcast.
In our 5th episode, ITBytes chat to Rosie Coffey. Rosie leads up the Enterprise Solutions team in IT Services. In this episode Rosie chats about her work as part of the National Cyber Security Awareness Task Force to tackle the growing problem of technology in gender-based crime. *We advise listener discretion with this episode as some listeners might find some of the content triggering, topics such as image-based abuse, impersonation, and harassment are discussed.*
While the conversation is of a serious nature, it is remarkable the drive, commitment and positive change Rosie, colleagues across UCC, National Cyber Security Awareness Task Force and beyond are making. This team of people are creating awareness to help others to recognise the signs of technology facilitated abuse and what a person can do to help themselves or somebody they know.
You can listen to this episode and all episodes of ITBytes on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Thank you to UCC98.3FM, where ITBytes is recorded.
