Tips & Tools for Protected Connection
Whether you painstakingly work to keep your personal information offline, “lay it all out there” on the digital plain, or hold concerns for your children online, there are an array of options that can help you protect your privacy and better manage your identity online. This expert panel features seasoned digital security experts from IEEE, Internet Society (ISOC), Kantara Initiative, Tor Project and Forrester Research. We will explore the practices, tools, networks and policies that are helping users more effectively protect their digital identities. We will discuss common notions of the words “privacy” and “identity” and explore various interpretations that traverse concept, context and even social and personal politics. Participants will develop a more keen sense of their own definition of “private” and learn how to take a more active role in protecting personal data – for themselves, their community and future generations. Part of the IEEE Technology for Humanity Series.
