The Geneva Communicators Network is pleased to announce our next lunchtime seminar for 2019:

Personal brand and reputation management: security strategies to keep your identity safe – Friday 5 April 2019
 
The digital transformation has had a profound impact on organisations and individuals. It has created new opportunities for communications but also requires new skills to understand and manage the dangers and risks. Digital threats including cyber-attacks, ransomware and “hacktivist” movements are increasingly prevalent in our society. Through social media these threats can spread quickly and impact not only our working environment but also our personal reputation. In addition, fake news, bots and influence buying, have facilitated the spread of misinformation and the means to manipulate both our personal brand and the reputation management of organisations.
How do we protect ourselves from these threats? Stephane Koch, expert in internet security, cybercrime, and digital strategies, will explain some of the most important threats that we face today and how to manage information and reputation in light of these dangers.
Date: Friday 5 April 2019
Time: 12h30 to 14h00
Location: The Swiss Press Club, Route de Ferney 106, La Pastorale, 1202 Geneva.
