The Digital Rights Forum is a public debate where a panel meets to discuss the important issues surrounding digital rights, with each event designed as a general over-arching topic and a more narrowly focused subject. This Friday, the forum will tackle the issue of online privacy. With our lives evermoreso integrated with the web and social media, staying safe online is becoming something of an increasing concern to everyone. From mobile apps to websites and email, protecting our personal information and online privacy has never been more complicated and more important. The panel includes Billy Hawkes, Data Protection Commissioner; Paul C Dwyer, security GRC and cyber threat adviser; Tom Murphy, co-founder and director of Boards.ie; chair is John Kennedy, editor of Siliconrepublic.com.
