2026 ILA Conference
Thursday October 8, 2026 4:00pm - 4:50pm PDT
The internet can be intimidating, and it's becoming more complex to navigate each year. Opting out of technology is no longer a realistic option, and even those who grew up online may struggle to understand evolving risks or feel too overwhelmed to take meaningful steps to protect themselves. The reality is that much of our personal information is already accessible to potential bad actors, but there are practical strategies we can all take to better manage and reduce our digital footprint.

This interactive workshop will explore the vital role information professionals play in promoting digital safety for both themselves and their patrons. Attendees will gain actionable tools and resources to help identify risks, respond effectively to security incidents when they occur, and take appropriate steps to recover and strengthen their digital security based on their individual risk levels.

Attendees will leave with: 
- A list of practical tools and resources that can be used to determine the scope of a suspected security incident
- An understanding of basic security posture analysis and how to determine how much security is too much
