Ja samalla muistutus, että Youtuben estäminen estää ainoastaan ko. sovelluksen käytön. Aivan liian monesta lasten pelistä (sekä mm. whatsappista) saa avattua sovelluksen sisäisen selaimen, jota ei ole mahdollista rajoittaa.
Päivän turvallisuusmuistutus: älkää antako pienten lapsienne selata Youtube Kidsiä vapaasti. Sieltä löytyy tuhansia suosituiksi lastenohjelmiksi naamioituja videoita, joissa esimerkiksi opetetaan että aikuisen on ok koskea lapsia seksuaalisesti. 1/

My 1st time @ #RSAC2023 was a throwback. Not a good one. ”You have sex appeal” ”Are you single?” ”Your company is lucky to have a girl like you to draw people in!” ”Scan my badge! You’re so cute, your little dress is so cute” #cyber is still hostile and sexist.

Many won’t go bc of this direct sexism and harassment. It’s a loss our industry can’t afford. I invest a lot of my time, and we invest in it as a company, to attract and grow future female and nonbinary cyber talent. This is not the industry I want them to experience. #diversity

Companies like @CrowdStrike are partly to blame for this behavior. Still in 2023, they had women in animal print catsuits crawling on all fours at their RSA party. As long as it’s ok for companies to objectify women like that, participants will think it’s ok to do too.

Our planet hurts from all the junk dished out here at #RSAC2023. At the Finnish Pavilion, you get knowledge instead. 🇫🇮 @Mikko is giving away signed books. Talk to us at @CyberCoachUS to learn about what your company can do for #digitalskillsequality & safer society for all.
Replying to @mikko
Get your free (and signed) copy of "If It's Smart, It's Vulnerable" at #RSAC2023. Book signing on Wednesday at 3pm and on Thursday at 11am. At WithSecure booth #1667. rsaconference.com/usa/expo-a…

Cyber qualifications are expensive or time-consuming, often both. It’s hindering underrepresented minorities. I’m honored to have been part of creating this awesome FREE, remote, university-level #cybercertification: skill.edukamu.fi/ Pls check it out & spread the word.

Fight #ONLINETRACKING. We leave mountains of #personaldata online each day. Much of it doesn’t benefit us & can be misused to harm us. Learn about your #digitalfootprint and gain control of it. Help a kid, senior citizen or other adult learn too. #cybercivicduty #digitalskills

#4dayworkweek was surely one of the easiest decisions when founding @CyberCoachUS. Helps us promote #diversity and #worklifebalance. So no surprises here: theguardian.com/money/2023/f…

#Nelipäiväinen työviikko oli kyllä yksi helpompia päätöksiä @CyberCoachUS yritystämme perustaessa. Tulokset tästäkään @hsfi julkaisemasta tutkimuksesta ei yllätä: hs.fi/talous/art-20000094070… #nelipäiväinenviikko

Universe made sure I got to the world’s greatest hacker conference #disobey2023 this weekend, and I didn’t even have to miss my favorite #bundesliga teams play. This cyber geek had higher hopes for red team (@unionberlin 🥰) vs blue team (@s04_en) though. Now: go @bayer04_en 🤞

It’s 2023 and we defenders at #disobey2023 are talking about young women being more likely to fall for #phishing. Engineers take this and up monitoring of young females at work. Scary, irresponsible and unethical. We’ve got to do better. #cyberawareness #employeeprivacy #DEI

We’re experts in ”what can be misused, will be misused.” So why do we spread information that can really only be misused for #discrimination and violation of individuals’ privacy? #workplaceprivacy

On my way to #disobey2023 with my fannypack filled with hologram stickers. Can’t wait to see everyone again 💜 Come say hi and/or get a sticker, even if we haven’t met. Also running a workshop tomorrow, check it out.

Protect a child, teen, senior citizen or other adult. Or just protect yourself. #LOCKSCREENS How are your phone & devices locked? Set up the most functional screen locking for (both of) you and be prepared in case a device is lost or it cannot be accessed. #digitalsafety

Help protect a child, teen, senior citizen or other adult. You can also just protect yourself! Clean up #SOCIALSETTINGS: 1. Are the social media accounts anonymous enough? What info is public? 2. Are the privacy settings adequate? Check kansalaiskyberteko.fi/en #onlinesafety
