Community Defense in Depth: Teaching digital security and privacy practices for the public good
From activists organizing and standing up to authoritarian governments, to people trying to safely access healthcare information, everyone has something to protect. As technology gets more advanced, so do the powerful who wish to steal data belonging to those with fewer resources, making it seem impossible to protect our communities against these threats. However, the cybersecurity community has the knowledge to empower the most vulnerable among us.
This talk will cover threats and tactics used against marginalized communities, and show how digital security and privacy is an ongoing practice in harm reduction. We will walk through threat modeling and how threat models are different for different identities. We will also use storytelling frameworks to explain privacy and security concepts to a non-technical audience.
