This two-day non-technical workshop consists of no nonsense, practical advice on information security and eavesdropping prevention and is presented in terms, which can be understood by people without training in electronics. ... The workshop includes practical demonstrations and illustrations of common vulnerabilities. (more) (course brochure) Contact: Michael Dever, BSc (Security) CPP PSP
