Cynthia Hetherington Principal, Hetherington Group

Historically, home safety involved locking your doors, making sure the gas was turned off, and alerting the neighbors when you were leaving for vacation. While all these practices are still just as important, regretfully we are still under-securing our home computers and leaving ourselves wide open to threats in the form of identity thieves, scammers and spammers, pranksters, and, worst of all, predators.
The presentation will cover the basics to securing your computer at home and on the road.
The presentation will provide a frank assessment of the pitfalls of social networking web sites as they pertain to you, your business, and your family, as well as recommendations for how to guard against the threats that may originate from these sites.
