Technology is everywhere, but what vulnerabilities exist and should concern you? If Facebook privacy, data breaches and ransomware have gotten your attention, come hear about the practical steps you can take to increase your personal and professional cyber defenses. Jonathan will share practical advice and answers for day to day cybersecurity worries that are prevalent in all of our lives. He’ll also provide recent stories on the topic that may have you changing your passwords, covering your laptop cameras and—well—printing out your most sensitive data rather than storing it online. Along the way Jonathan will answer your questions and try to direct your defenses to be productive and proactive.

The talk is for non-tech folks and tech folks alike for basic and practical solutions.

Talking Points: 

1. How non-technical (e.g. Phishing) attacks are still the most likely way to create harm.
2. Is your password at least 8 characters? Does it have at least one number? One symbol? Is it different on every website? Does any of this matter? And if so, how do you manage it all?
3. Can accessing your online services cause you harm? If so, how? And what's the realistic outcomes to worry about?
4. What is state of the art in cyber attacks that will affect you?
5. What can you do to have basic cyber self defense?
