    Posted Oct 08, 2020 04:04 PM

    We all know that we should use "strong" passwords, keep software updated, and follow other basic precautions while online. However, understanding the reasons behind these rules is critical in helping us to convince ourselves and others that the extra work is indeed worth it. This session will cover securing you and your archives' data, network, website, and computers. Discussion will include security myths, passwords, tracking, malware, and will cover a range of tools and techniques.

    Who Should Attend: Archivist practitioners, archivist managers, archivist administrators, IT professionals

    What You Should Already Know: No prior experience is necessary.
