OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Insider Threats & Foreign Malign Influence, from Detection to Elimination
This talk examines the rising threat of foreign malign influence and insider threats across sectors, with a focus on their impact within academic institutions. Hostile actors increasingly target academia to access sensitive research, influence intellectual narratives, and gain technological advantages. Through tactics like insider recruitment and propaganda to sow discord, these threats endanger national security and research integrity. The presentation will explore strategies to mitigate these risks, including vetting, transparency in partnerships, and compliance with national requirements. By adopting proactive, collaborative measures, institutions can safeguard both academic freedom and national interests from foreign exploitation and insider risks.
