Helping you make sense of personal security.
It has become incredibly challenging to make sense of digital security. Often it appears so overwhelming that we end up ignoring the issue altogether. Alternatively we rely on quick fixes or on paid products to handle pieces of it for us.
The goal of this session is to set aside time to identify practical aspects of current digital security for each participant. By the end you should be able to narrow down the scope of what you need to focus on.
This session is not intended for security professionals, there will simply be nothing new or cutting edge. It is intended to help anyone who is anxious about the issue but haven't had the opportunity to make decision about it.

Yeah! I was hacked a few weeks ago, terrible unpleasantness but not real damage done. I come with questions on home network and mobile security. Thanks.

Previously ended at 2:30, now ends at 2:00pm. Could very well end earlier depending on attendance.
