Cybersecurity professionals are trained to counter threats and vulnerabilities in people, process and technology. In the last twenty years, we have focused on the last two, and on the bad actors responsible for cyber attacks. But what about the general population of potential victims? Have we communicated the risks and remedies effectively? How might we do better?
The Comm230X +1 Speaker Series highlights evolving perspectives at the intersection of the social sector, digital technology, and contemporary society. Winter 2020 speakers are experts from social sector organizations and from the fields of law, journalism, technology, and policy, including Jen Schradie, Catherine Sandoval, and Victoria Baines. Topics covered in the series include journalism, criminal justice, technology use in the social sector, cyber security, technology policy, and digital activism & conservativism.
Dinner served. Please RSVP above.
