The Safe Internet Bootcamp was organised on the 10th of May of this year in BIT-MeetMe in Ede. Around 100 IT managers and professionals attended this event to get advice on the steps that need to be taken to ensure that employees use the internet in a safe and secure manner. What are the dangers and risks for organisations when this is not properly monitored? And who is responsible for all the data that is being collected?

In addition to interesting presentations, attendees got useful tips and tools that we put into a nice overview below.

During the Safe Internet Bootcamp there were many questions on the wide array of subjects that were discussed. Including a question from the audience on the costs associated with alternatives that provide more privacy. How do you handle this as the owner of a small business? Rejo Zenger, from Bits of Freedom, wrote an interesting article in response.
