Speakers

Students from Champlain College's Leahy Center for Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity will provide an overview of Vermont Privacy Project and discuss their findings on the first two research objectives--an overview of privacy incidents in the nation and what we can learn from that and some insights into the types of incidents within Vermont.  

Vermont Privacy Project brings together students and practitioners with interest and expertise in computer science, statistics, law, policy, and social science. It seeks to advance understanding of privacy issues and develop methods, tools, and policies to further the protection of data containing information about individuals used by local government agencies, non-profit entities, and small businesses operating in the State of Vermont. The team explores cross-disciplinary approaches to data privacy protection to include devising privacy risk management frameworks, designing training and outreach materials, and drafting legislative and policy recommendations.
