Son, what did you do today?

“I downloaded 50 new MP3s, penetrated 15 corporate servers and clicked on 5 highly questionable internet links”

“I stole 3 new CDs, snuck into 3 offices and looked at corporate data, and shared my detailed personal information with 5 complete strangers”

Need higher understanding of risks among parents, students and admins

Security & Privacy Common Sense Conclusions

• Apply Principles of “Least Privileged” and “Most Restrictive”• A Stranger online is the same as a Stranger in person, only

worse• It’s all about money: links, ads, pop-ups, phishing, spam• Keep your computer updated and let it do its job protecting you• Risk Assessment: Cloud vs. Hosted vs. On-Premise
