Photographers and videographers face unique digital security challenges in an inescapably connected world. Drawing from real-life case studies and nearly a decade in newsrooms, this presentation will cover practical strategies for protecting creative work, client data, and personal privacy.
Topics include: understanding threats, vulnerabilities, and risk assessment; managing your attack surface (ASM) and digital footprint; the dangers of metadata in your files; encryption fundamentals for files at rest and in transit (including challenges with large file sizes); proper use and limitations of VPNs; and practical mitigation strategies including browser and search engine selection, secure backup solutions, password management, and communication tools beyond mainstream options.
Attendees will leave with steps to reduce their vulnerability to hacking and exposure—while maintaining efficient workflows for large file transfers and client collaboration. The session will conclude with an open Q&A to address your specific security concerns.
