If you're new to digital security, 2025 is your year! (And if you're a seasoned practitioner, 2025 is... also your year.)
The past 2.25 months have, if nothing else, showcased the vulnerability of public data as a stark contrast to the value of our personal data. After DECADES of shifting to online services, sometimes exclusively, there's a lot of personally identifiable information out there that it would be prudent to safeguard.
This session will be presented by Davis Erin Anderson, Senior Digital Security Trainer at Freedom of the Press Foundation. Since around 2016, Davis has been training journalists, librarians, and anyone else who will listen on how to enhance their privacy and security online. Her favorite topics are credential security, avoiding online scams, and how to use encryption everywhere possible.
Join this session to talk shop about various vulnerabilities and threats, from phishing scams to government surveillance, and what we might do about them. We each have the power to keep our data, ourselves, and one another safe this year and into the future.
