Speaking at #insafe2015

Last week I did two workshops for the insafe training meeting in Warsaw (photo above taken from venue).

Insafe training meetings provide an opportunity for members of the network of European Safer Internet Centres (awareness raising, helplines and youth participation) to come together to discuss the latest trends in online safety issues, and share experiences and best practice examples of empowering children and young people to stay safe online.

My 2 sessions were:

“I’ve been hacked”
Hacking, social engineering & pervasive algorithms

But have you actually been hacked? Or have you been socially engineered?
This workshop will explore the differences and similarities between the two and also look at how we may think we have agency in our decisions but often pervasive algorithms are determining what we can and can’t do.

We Can Haz ALL your information
Wearables, IoT and Big Data

As even more of our data is going to be made available through wearables and the “Internet of Things”, this workshop will look at the risks and realities behind the hype
