ACLU’s Jennifer Stisa Granick and Google’s Maddie Stone talk security and surveillance at Disrupt

In a world filled with bad actors and governments that snoop, it's the one factor that affects almost every business. Too many companies, large and small, remain unaware and vulnerable to snooping, despite the fact that companies like Apple, Signal and LastPass use end-to-end encryption.

The fast-changing landscape is why the American Civil Liberties Union and the Project Zero team will be at the event.

In a panel discussion called "surveillance in startup land," Granick and Stone will join a security editor from TechCrunch to present a crash course on how to protect their users and customers from threats they haven't seen before.

We will discuss the emerging threats today, like how NSO Group, Cytrox and Candiru, which let governments secretly wiretap phones in real time, and the companies that trade in people's personal information, represent an ever.

There is a security researcher on the Project Zero team who focuses on zero-day exploits. She used to be the reverse engineer and team lead on the security team for the mobile operating system.

A double major in computer science and Russian and a master's degree in computer science are what Stone has.
