"The Cloud" has become a catchall phrase to mean anything from "local network storage" through to "The Internet" and "outsourcing". This course looks at protecting documents for use in online environments and covers ways of sharing documents, password protection and an introduction to encryption. This is part of a series of one-hour sessions about staying safe and secure online.
