Webinar: Online Safety & Privacy for Young Professionals

The webinar will cover how young professionals can secure their online presence and safeguard their personal information, and information relating to their company or employer.

It will begin by sketching the framework to maintain online safety, how to design an appropriate threat model, determine their risk appetite and tolerance, and establish clear boundaries between professional and personal profiles.

Building on this, it will cover how to bolster online safety by building and implementing enduring privacy practices that last in the long term. This will cover communicating securely about business, developing a professional online presence, avoiding cross-pollination of personal and professional profiles, managing privacy across digital platforms, and how to respond when incidents occur.
