Phishing and Privacy - Protecting your Online Persona
Paul Ducklin and James Burchall

Phishing still works and cybercriminals still love it. Every time you let slip a snippet of information about yourself, you put the crooks one step closer to the inside of your digital life – or your company network, for that matter – by helping them to sidestep your defences, guess your passwords, and blend in unnoticed. Join us to learn from Sophos security expert James Burchell, a well-informed techie who also has the rare gift of explaining what he knows in plain and entertaining language. James will not only increase your knowledge but also boost your enthusiasm to take on the crooks, and come out ahead! 

Social Media – How To Be In It and Win It

Paul Ducklin and Mark Stockley

 In this session, we'll talk to Sophos' own website cybersecurity superstar, Mark Stockley, about the thorny issue of social media. Services such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat present you with a fantastic opportunity to build your brand, enhance your business, and have fun with your friends all at the same time. But these sites are also an easy way to give away more than you get back, you may end up helping the crooks more than you boost yourself. Mark is a veritable fountain of great social media advice – techniques you can use to keep yourself, your business, and your kids safe online without cutting yourself off altogether. Join us to learn how to do it!

Web Security - Don't Be A Victim

Paul Ducklin and Benedict Jones

These days "the web" covers everything from the apps you run in the cloud to the online services you offer. You need to keep the bad stuff out and the good stuff in. You need to do this all the time, and you need to do it in such a way that your users won't notice, or else they'll complain and look for ways to get around the protections you've put in place. Benedict Jones is a sales engineer at Sophos who's also an active cybersecurity researcher. He knows firsthand just how hard (and how quickly) the crooks try to get at your own and your customers' data. Listen to Ben to learn how to stop the crooks in their tracks.

How to Love the Cloud

 Paul Ducklin and Matt Boddy 

Embracing the cloud is like taking the ultimate step in outsourcing. Someone else not only looks after your servers – they own them, run them, and provide you with the all apps you need to make your systems work. No more server rooms. No more electricity or bandwidth supply woes. No more server patching. No more fiddling with configuration files. But there are huge security downsides too: who else is in the server room? Who's keeping tabs on the bandwidth? Were the latest patches actually applied? Who's been fiddling with the configuration files? Sophos security expert and passionate honeypot researcher Matt Boddy has the answers. Join us to learn how to love the cloud and get the best from it.
