In the current technological times, journalistic activity is targeted. Many journalists are under a magnifying glass while carrying out their mission and are considered technically vulnerable.

Recently, technical attacks on journalists aimed at disrupting their activity or leaking data have become more frequent. For these and a number of other reasons, it is very important for journalists to be informed about the rules and tools of digital security, to be able to protect themselves from external threats.

The Public Journalism Club organizes a two-day training for journalists on digital security.

The training will be conducted by the leading experts in the field Samvel Martirosyan and Aleksey Chalabyan, information security experts.

• Protection of e-mail and social networks
• Basic equipment protection: phones and computers
