Guidance for High-Risk Individuals

mnemonic security podcast

When we talk about securing an organisation’s assets, we most often mean its data, devices, servers, or accounts, but are we doing enough to secure the group of people leading the company? Or the ones doing high risk work on behalf of the organisation?

To discuss the importance of securing high-risk individuals, like journalists, politicians and executives, Robby is joined by an expert in this field, Runa Sandvik, journalist, security researcher and founder of Granitt. At Granitt, Runa works with digital security for journalists and other at-risk people, building on her experiences working at The New York Times, Freedom of the Press Foundation and The Tor Project.

During the conversation, they talk about how to secure devices when travelling to high-risk countries, what tools to use and at what time, and how threat actors usually target individuals. Runa also shares how she works to secure accounts and devices for her clients.
