Bitdefender Data Protection Webinar Tackles User Privacy Topics on January 28

Bitdefender, which signed on this month to become a Data Privacy Champion, aims to alert computer users to the growing risks to their privacy and help them control their digital footprint in the company`s new status as a Data Privacy Champion.

As a pioneer in data privacy, Bitdefender is hosting a webinar to examine what kind of data is sent and collected over the internet on January 28 between 9AM and 10AM PST. Featuring Chief Security Strategist Catalin Cosoi, Bitdefender`s Data Protection Webinar aims to tackle sizzling user privacy topics and the risks associated with user profiling and identity theft.

Saying that privacy is becoming a growing concern as more websites choose to integrate third-party services that monitor users, Cosoi believes that awareness on how much information is being collected is still low.

Having years of experience data privacy invasions, Cosoi believes that non-personally identifiable information can still be used to track users and set up behavioral profiles.

Bitdefeder already protects users` privacy by continuously improving its iOS web-based Clueful app and social media watchdog, SafeEgo. With both products designed to safeguard user privacy, Bitdefender provides the proper tools for navigating in a safe online environment.

Recognizing and supporting the ideal that individuals, organizations, business and government share responsibility for protecting privacy, Bitdefender encourages everyone to bring information privacy into their daily thoughts, conversations and actions.

Increasing sophistication and precision targeting of data privacy invasions mean that user awareness of data privacy needs to reach ever-higher levels. Bitdefender spearheads efforts to keep users safe from potential online attacks on their private data and privacy.
