Shielding the Truth: Digital Security Essentials for Journalists
In an era of pervasive digital threats, this session equips journalists with essential knowledge and tools to safeguard their communications, sources, and data against cyber attacks and surveillance, covering the latest encryption techniques, secure communication methods, and best practices for digital security.
