This session will be in three parts: 1. we will get some short descriptions of MSc research projects which focus on DHIS2 and security. This is an exciting opportunity to engage with students and promote the reseach-action agenda as well as provide some guidance to potential projects for the year ahead. The current projects cover an impressively wide range of concerns from the security management perspective through to the deeply technical. Something for everyone. 2. Secure backend setup. Stephen Ocaya will describe some of the latest thinking around hosting DHIS2 with enhanced security considerations in mind for tracker based data. 3. We will have a more open discussion, leveraging the broad expertise in the room, around priorites, strategies and approaches towards security in DHIS2
