Merchandise Description

This webinar was held on July 13, 2017

If you read today’s headlines about security breaches, you might be thinking of going back to fax machines and snail mail. Or you might be assuming that privacy is dead and we may as well get used to it (and you have nothing to hide, right?)

While there is no such thing as foolproof security and privacy, there is a middle ground that you can find by understanding and using particular techniques. We are in a world where mobile technologies are everywhere and we need to use them to be productive and to enjoy creative activities.

We’ll discuss answers to these questions:

Security:

Is your laptop or smartphone’s traffic being harvested when on public wi-fi?
What’s the best thing to do if your device is lost or stolen?
Is your data safely backed up?
Should you trust a password manager?
What are the advantages of using Touch ID on iPhones?
Is it a good idea to use mobile payment systems in retail stores?
Can criminals hold your data captive and ask for ransom?
How can you make theft of your identity less likely?

Privacy:

Is your laptop camera or microphone recording without you knowing it?
Are you giving away information for targeted advertising?
How easy is it for anyone to see all of your search engine history?
Should you use encrypted messaging and email? How?

For each question we’ll look at media hype compared to expert opinions and show what you can do to protect yourself. We’ll look at statistics on the likelihood of each bad thing that might happen. You’ll come away with resources for learning more, so you can take reasonable steps to protect your privacy and security.
