Digital Security: What to do first

Data breaches and account hijacking are so common and pervasive that there might seem like there’s nothing we can do about it. Fortunately, however, we can! In this webinar, we'll be learning how account hijacking happens and take our first steps in locking down our online accounts so we can become resilient remote workers. Additionally, we'll also be learning how to protect our smartphones from unwanted hacking and learn about how different apps compare on securely communicating with colleagues and sources.
