CYBER SECURITY - THE INVISIBLE WAR
Imagine a world where every telephone call is monitored, every email and text message read. A world where all of your most personal information can be stolen by cyber-criminals and offered for sale to the highest bidder. How much risk are you taking each time you turn on your computer, surf the Internet or participate in social media? We are all bombarded every day with emails designed to trick you into downloading malware onto your computer or your corporate network. Who are the people that are working so hard to steal your identity? What can you do to keep them in check? How do we protect ourselves and our businesses from an invisible enemy? As technology proliferates, what choices should you make? How much of your privacy will you be willing to give up for the sake of security? Convenience? Social Interaction? Where will be as a society in 25 years? What impact will the choices we make today have on privacy and security in the future. And how will our government protect us? Chris' insights into the world of organized crime and foreign intelligence and how the Internet is the new crime scene, will shock, inform and entertain you.
