The goal of the People + Security Talk series is to bring the security community together and discuss different security practices a people-centric technology company should adopt. We are starting 2020 by talking about privacy -- what is the role of the security community in giving end users control over their data? Come by to enjoy dinner, drinks and great conversation with other professionals in the security community.
