Alan J. Porter is a recognized industry thought leader, balancing both tactical and strategic knowledge and a gift for storytelling. He is a regular contributor to various industry sources, webinar host, and podcast guest, as well as an in-demand speaker for conferences.
Join Megan Gilhooly and Scott Abel on Tuesday, February 2, 2021, as they chat with John Kearney about cybersecurity and technical writing. Kearney will share lessons he learned teaching cybersecurity practitioners how to make their communication accessible to others. He’ll discuss tactics technical writers can use to create error messages useful to consumers but not to hackers. You’ll leave with access to helpful cybersecurity learning aids, and you’ll have an opportunity to ask John questions during the show.
Three lucky viewers will win a free copy of the book, The Language of Cybersecurity, from XML Press and The Content Wrangler.
