You read the headlines about the latest massive hack affecting millions and sometimes a billion web users and/or credit card holders. But did you know that possibly and unwittingly your own website, router or web connected device could be part of a botnet used in attacks?
What never ceases to amaze is how many businesses and individuals fail to protect themselves from the hordes of hackers working in a multi-billion dollar a year illegal industry. This workshop aims to awaken you to the many dangers as well as to offer real solutions to defending yourself and your business from what could be a disastrous breach of security.
Topics include:
* Profile of a “black hat” hacker and what they target
* Types of attacks and how they’re achieved
* Skimmers, shimmers, mini spy cameras
* Social engineering: what is it?
* Sources of timely security alerts
* Basic prevention
* Penetration testing (have I been hacked?)
* Web site and web server security
* Desktop and Mobile security
* Anti-virus products comparisons
Truthfully, everybody who connects to the Internet should know this stuff, so come on over, and become a savvy, secure Internet user!

Part of the London Launch
Event Details
Part of the London Launch Code pilot project sponsored by Coder Scoop, bridging the gap between the growing local tech industry and those who want to be a part of it.
There’s a disconnect when scores of skilled programmers and other tech workers are chronically unemployed or underemployed while tech companies in Canada complain vehemently that there’s a dire shortage of skilled tech personnel and that to avert a crisis, work visas should be granted en masse to foreign workers.
What is happening? Before you crucify the employers, accusing them of just looking for cheap labor as in so many industries, consider the possibility that these local skilled workers are perhaps failing to attract their attention or that maybe the ones doing the hiring are not recognizing talent. When push comes to shove, all they want are people who know what they’re doing and are reliable, right?
Maybe it’s because many tech workers are terribly shy, and don’t do a good job of selling themselves? Maybe they have skills that aren’t highly in demand in their city or that there’s an excessive supply of workers with the same skills? Maybe they’re just sending their resume and cover letter, then hoping for an interview – a job seeking routine which is known to have an abysmal success rate? Maybe employers are too stuck on their “scientific” hiring methodology and miss the gems in the rough that come their way?
There’s a lot of maybes! The aim of the London Launch Code project is to help both sides of the employment equation, by educating them and bringing them together in original ways!
The purpose of this lecture is to give those seeking employment, or better employment, in the tech industry, a leg up on everyone else! You’ll get insider information that none of the employment agencies will provide, but could make a huge difference in the results of your quest!
Some of the topics include:
* Meeting the decision makers one-on-one without an interview.
* Getting job offers without seeking them.
* Building a myth around yourself
* Why the “tout” is 100 times more valuable than experience.
* Researching the company and decision makers
* The 10 deadly sins
In short, this ISN’T another of those “how to write a resume” or “how to do a winning interview” courses!
