"There's a Hack For That!" How To Keep Your Data Safe From Hackers.

Bio/summary: Jawaad is a software engineer and data security researcher who has made it his mission to educate the public on how to stay safe online.  He spreads the message on his blog www.tech-fu.com where he shares tips for staying safe.  What galvanized him to this calling was the incident last year in Hollywood California where a hospital had all of their computers systems locked down by hackers who went after the weakest and frail amongst us.  Today, Jawaad will share with us a few of the latest threats out there and how to protect ourselves from them.

Day after day, I would hear about organizations getting hacked and their data being sold on the internet.  Whether it be accountants, lawyers or those in the medical profession.  Therefore I’ve made it my mission to help those who can’t help themselves to keep themselves, their firms and their clients safe by sharing my “cyber-street smarts” with everyone. 

Some of the points I will cover are:

-              Ransomware

-              The latest in Phishing attacks

-              Social Engineering

-              A data security plan.
