Our SXSW discussion - Hacker Insights: Overcoming Our Digital Identity - was a success. National Cybersecurity Alliance Executive Director Lisa Plaggemier sat down with Cloaked CEO Arjun Bhatnagar for an hour-long Fireside Chat where they discussed the state of privacy today.The audience walked away with a deeper understanding of the myths and realities impacting privacy, as well as clear steps to take back control of personal data. Attendees also experienced the Cloaked Hotline (855.75.CLOAK) in real time - yes, jaws dropped - and follow up conversations were had.Additional takeaways included:

• The realities of how data is being accessed, sold and used to our detriment – impacting our digital identity and how we perceive ourselves
• The role data poisoning and other actions can play in making data indecipherable to start putting us in control of our digital identity with speed
• What individuals and companies must do to ensure we’re upholding privacy as a fundamental right for all

Missed the event? No worries, here’s a link to the audio recording.
