Let’s Talk About Personal Digital Privacy and Security - (Robert Hurlbut)

Title:
Let’s Talk About Personal Digital Privacy and Security

Abstract:
This session will help attendees understand our privacy and security options online. Many do the basics, like patching and updating operating systems and browsers. But certainly, there is more we can do. How can we maintain our privacy when visiting websites? How can we stay safe online? How can we ensure our sensitive information is protected or managed correctly? We will discuss some of the “best practices “ that have evolved in this world of daily data breaches and other ways digital privacy and security have been compromised.

This is a revisit of a topic we have covered before, but it's never a bad time to think about it again, especially with AI/DeepFake threats and related issues.

(NOTE: This talk was also recently given at the Friends of the Enfield Library monthly event on October 29, 2024)
