Description

What exactly is privacy? Do we have a right to privacy, and if so, what can we do to exercise it? Do we even need to worry about privacy, and how much should we be concerned?

Join us this month for a discussion of these topics and more with Russell Mickler, a local technology consultant. He’ll describe the current legal state of electronic privacy in America and describe the legal, technical, and behavioral responses that we can take as individuals to protect the confidentiality of our private information.

This presentation includes a privacy self-assessment and scoring tool to help you tailor your response to privacy and will set up the conversation on privacy strategies and safeguards to extend into future TA3M sessions.

During this discussion, we’ll talk about:

  • the definition of privacy

  • our response to privacy

  • risk assessment and response

Program:

6:00 pm - Doors

6:15 pm - Presentation / discussion

7:15 pm - Q & A / networking

We'll have snacks, and there will be an opportunity for networking following the talk. We hope to see you there!
