How to Build a Computer That Can’t Be Hacked

Join Dr. Roger Billings for a fascinating look at computer security and the challenge of building computers that can’t be hacked. Dr. Billings explores why data breaches keep happening and reveals his bold vision for a completely new approach to cybersecurity — including innovative technologies built from the ground up for security: the Hyperium server, fs.ix operating system, GoRilla database, J3DI workstations, and the GoldKey authentication system.

Plus, get a sneak peek at Acellus’s upcoming course America: The Forging of a Nation, filmed on location at historic Philadelphia sites in honor of America’s 250th anniversary.

    I like how Tobias used the drones for a better perspective for his Story, so there’s many ways that children can interpret the story and have a better time reading it.

    OH! I heard about that hack! Thankfully (and obviously) I am now using Acellus, but when I did use Canvas it was very odd how all of the students had similar passwords.
    It was painful to try to find assignments of Canvas and I am glad I switched.

    Would an un-hackable computer be able to protect all users of the computer? For example, if there are multiple people with different accounts on the same device, would the computer still be able to protect one user’s info from another user’s if the perpetrator attempts to use hacks?

    Hello to everyone! Also, thanks Dr. Billing for sharing the general schemes used by hackers who try to break into computers. As well as that, thanks for discussing a real solution to such a problem. I really learned plenty of new things regarding which strategies hackers use to steal information.

    Relating to computers, the ‘inner walls’ (inner security protecting the main security inside the computer) that are built inside the ‘wall of a castle’ (the main security inside a computer) to prevent hackers from cracking our hidden information, especially passwords, personal details, etc. What of one of the ‘inner walls’ were destroyed, either partially or completely, would a hacker be able to receive one of our protected data? If so, how do we fix it?
