LASCON 2015

With a continued rise in the number of victims of violence in the United States, there has been a rise in organizations being formed to help the victims. According to a report published in January 2015, 20 people per minute fall victim to physical violence by an intimate partner. Today, victims of violence and the organizations chartered to help them are facing greater challenges with the emergence of powerful technologies and accessibility to the Internet 24 hours a day. This talk will explore how crisis organizations are now facing greater risks in the digital domain, but not just from attack but also in striking a clear and appropriate balance between information security, privacy and the law; an example that many non-profit organizations are facing.
