OSINT Cyber Hygiene

Let’s do it safe(r)

What can happen, what to do?

Indifference and Ignorance are two of the main weapons used by cyber criminals and cyber warriors to get access to information they shouldn’t get access to. You may lose your information position to the competition, lose your identity, lose your anonymity. You may even lose valuable information (patents, inventions, plans) that may cost you dearly.cyberwar

The Cyber Hygiene programme will share the most common risks associated with using the Internet, an overview of common cyber attacks, examples of information warfare, computer network exploitation and more importantly, what to do to protect yourself and why.

The programme is aimed at delegates who use the Internet often, work with sensitive data but are no cyber specialists. The programme is created with the cyber crime novice in mind. The programme aims to be practical.

The main emphasis is laid on techniques and tools to protect yourself against cybercrime, not on the theory. Tools and techniques to make your laptop safe(r), what to do to stay safe when in a hotel, what never to do when using a public WiFi (like in a hotel).
