Tails: A Portable and Secure Computer for Newsrooms

Journalists often rely on personal computers for their work and have no feasible alternatives to enhance security or separate highly sensitive communication from their personal devices. This workshop will introduce Tails, a secure, portable, and low-cost operating system that runs directly from a portable USB memory stick. Tails helps mitigate surveillance and network censorship while leaving no trace on the computer it is used on. It includes a suite of secure applications tailored for journalistic work and secure whistleblowing.
