Data Privacy Day webinar panel

As part of Data Privacy Day, University of Toronto’s (U of T) Information Security team is hosting a virtual webinar panel, open to staff, faculty and students.
This webinar will focus on technology’s growing impact on our privacy. Panelists include a range of subject matter experts who will answer questions about the importance of protecting our personal information and highlighting the steps we can take to do so.
Speakers:

Deibert has overseen and been a contributing author to more than 120 reports covering path breaking research on cyber espionage, commercial spyware, internet censorship and human rights. In this panel, he will provide insight into how the insecurities of the digital ecosystem create opportunities for exploitation, featuring our work on commercial espionage industries.
