Cybersecurity Self-Defense Class

We’ve heard more about personal cybersecurity over the past several months than in the previous 20 years. (May we never hear the words “private email server” again.) You may not be high on Putin's to-hack list, but there are still good reasons to protect yourself online, and there is no better place to start than a Future Tense happy hour.

On Thursday, February 16, Future Tense hosted a Cybersecurity Self-Defense class as part of their February installment of Futurography—Future Tense’s monthly online course offering monthly breakdowns of science and tech topics. The panel experts taught guests how to use a virtual private network, cover their digital tracks, use secure communications platforms, and more.

Future Tense is a partnership of Slate , New America , and Arizona State University.

Featuring Jennifer Golbeck, Associate Professor, College of Information Studies, University of Maryland and Jamie Winterton, Director of Strategy, Global Security Initiative, Arizona State University and Fellow, Future Tense.
