Free program followed by reception. See you there!
Security is not mysterious, Bruce Schneier advises, and contrary to popular belief, it is not hard. In this program, security expert Bruce Schneier helps separate "security theater," or a fictive performance of safety and prevention, from its actual and effective workings. Schneier is one of the foremost experts on issues and tactics of security, from preventing computer hacking to terrorist attacks. Based in the Twin Cities, Schneier speaks across the nation on these issues, has testified before Congress, and regularly writes opinion pieces for Forbes, Salon, Wired News, and the Star Tribune.
This program is cosponsored by the University of Minnesota's Weisman Art Museum.
