    Cybersecurity for startup political and news organizations

    Websites get hack attacked. Websites that are political or journalistic in nature are at an increased risk of being hacked, since not only do they attract the “regular” attackers, but they are a more likely target for ideologically-driven attackers as well. Hackers can be literally anyone. Organizations on all sides of the political spectrum can be targeted. Learn some tips for hardening your defenses against such attackers in this video!

  2. What is encryption and why do I need it?

    What is encryption and why do I need it?

    Imagine you and your friends are planning a protest, but you fear that if the local authorities find out ahead of time, they might try to stop you. How do you prevent the authorities from discovering what your plans are?  Your friends live too far away from each other for you to hold an in-person meeting, and the COVID-19 lockdowns also make such physical meetings illegal. You have to send messages to each other, but you suspect the police are monitoring your Internet connections and your phone conversations.  How can you and your friends communicate privately so that your protest is successful? Find out how in this episode.
