How do you marry information and communication technology with the need for security and privacy?
Threads can be overwhelming with censorship, monitoring and filtering of communication; spyware that turns computers and mobile phones into slave devices; the confiscation and destruction of information; attacks on internet servers.
Fortunately there are means and tools to improve your security and privacy. Wojtek Bogusz gives practical advice on how to maximise security and privacy on your computer.
Topics covered include:
- remain anonymous and bypass censorship on the internet
- keep online communication private, so it cannot be altered in transit and only you and people you communicate with can read it
- destroy sensitive information so nobody can read it
- recover from loss of information
- protect your computer from malware (like viruses or spying software) and hackers, the intruders who can gain control over your computer through the internet connection
- protect your information from physical threats, like robbery or equipment destruction.
