Is ignorance really bliss when it comes to Security & Privacy in your personal and professional life? One might like to think so. Until you're notified your email address, debit card, online profiles or even your residence...has been compromised. Our homes and refrigerators can be automated, our TV's have potential listening devices in them (*cough* Samsung) and your laptop camera can be a weapon just as much as a tool. We don't mean to exaggerate but when each of the above listed are used every day, being "in the know" just might be the better, albeit safer, route.

Join us for an evening of thought-provoking discussion around how to improve or get started protecting yourself, your assets and your company's valuable data. We will breakout groups with tables to rotate through with questions, case studies and/or stats on all things Security & Privacy. We hope to inspire dialog around the current status of our cyber and physical safety. This is an event for those technical in the industry just as much for those in functional roles or "not in IT" - no matter, we're all in it together!
