Privacy by design: the design in favour of privacy

  The laws on privacy isn’t enough when we talk from a technical and design point of view of information applications because not all data and neither the cookies are essential.  As user and beta test in some online platforms I took care of this point particularly from the technic point of view.  Always placing the blame solely  on users the question it isn’t the right direction and neither to block the access to the service because we haven’t accept cookies for marketing pourpose it isn’t correct.  The aspect from technician, also in the beta, is more complex.  Particularly in some professional ambits almost we are daily immersed in the technologies and we cohabit, in many cases, also in the night.  The technology in many cases interact with the technologies nearby and it’s necessary of interoperability. This point doesn’t mean that it’s necessary to pass all but it’s enough the essential personal data and the permission of user in connection to the r...

Creative and Cyber Security Specialist: my history is different

 

In the first post I have drawn up a series of topics on which to write but a series of events, unrelated to my will, that have prevented me in the recent months to continue serenely for the professional road I had chosen, they oblige me to diverge from that imaginary line drafted to argue some critic issues. 

As a woman who chose Engineering when all the girls made choices of university courses easier because gently encouraged by families rather than aware of their real needs; as a woman, who since she was still a teenager would have liked to be an entrepreneur in the various innovative sectors, I regret to note that all these years has not changed much. 

Even if it can be anachronistic, for many people it’s difficult to accept that women can choose a path give them economic autonomy but especially freedom of thinking and even if it’s be absurd sometimes arrive some events that even the fantasy cannot imagine. 

In the choices for my personal and formative necessity I have learned a fundamental thing: in life you can read and study all books you want but you acquire skills from self same life, the people you meet, the people whom you interact, the people whom you share and exchange the know how and the thinking. This consent you to grow, especially if that people belong to different culture and vision. 

Being different and confronting each other to learn how to be equal is the principle idea of my life and in the choices of my life. 

My path in the faculty of Engineering , in a different city from hometown, was the beautiful experience of my life, and the faculty was my second family in a period when women in the engineering sector are few. 

Engineering is one of STEM pathway that I would like to recommend to all girls want to match for the next challenges of future. 

I have learned from it a "forma mentis" that help me in the daily life and for the international public relations for professional future. 

Having made this choice in different years from the today’s time has allowed me to see many changes in what is now linked to the womenintech and metoo movements. 

I was always respected from tutors and colleagues men, with some rare exceptions, but hindered from tutors and colleagues women, also here with necessary exceptions. 

The same respect I have found in the faculty of Engineering , unfortunately I haven’t found in the real life and in the virtual life as creative and cyber security specialist. 

I have revealed recently to be a cyber security specialist, I didn’t want to reveale this aspect of my life because I think in cyber security it can works better the researchs and analytics of new scenarios when none know about you but unfortunately it’s not more possible. 

I say with bitterness that many times I have been attacked for personal motivations rather than professional for issues related to the incapacity of those around me to cope with valid arguments to his bad choices in terms of computer security, or worse to divergent positions of thought from mine. 

Exactly for these motivations I have choose in 2011 to be independent so to avoid from professional divergent thinking and to be free to give a right criticism to the bad choices in the security information sector. 

The independence was an ethical choice to tell NO, I don’t do this work because it’s against my principles, the possibility to say if you want this type of work you choose another person. 

It cost me a lot to do it but I did so many choices of life to be able to look in the mirror and say I’m okay with myself and if I owe something I owe it only to my conscience. 

Those people who in recent years have hindered me and can not argue the reasons give a gift to all: dedicate you to silence.

Creative and security information specialist: the indipendence is an imperfect world of freedom

  I was hoping don’t write again a critical post on some arguments because this publication is born with a different purpose, but the persistence of events not related to my will oblige me to write again a critical post. The indipendence and the freedom of thinking taught me by my parents, in south of Italy they often clashed with events didn’t depend from my will but from the circumstances where the diversity and the creativity aren’t view as an added value that can innovate a process for the improvement of society.  Before me, many independent creatives and ethical hackers have talk about this subject, I could have to refrain to speak but I’m a creative coder and sometimes I don’t accept the interference of some people that aren’t in the sector of creativity and computing.  Many people define itself “creative”or “security information specialist”, also when it’s not so.  A client call a physician, a lawyer or an accountant because you need of that professional worke...

Notes from creative journeys: “The thinking behind design”

  I begin again to write after a long time of silence and after I have kept at a safe distance the world of writing. It’s not easy to return on one’s steps, especially if you are a visual creative who uses the writing for the necessary to explain the own projects.  It’s hard to explain to people who read you, the reasons which take you to open a publication on web, it’s hard to not think how you can make known the arguments each time you will discuss if you know these arguments are not common but there are few people interested them.  I think the first post must be a preface on what we would like write in the following posts. It must represent our imaginary line on which to pin down the topics we would like to talk about, a reference for all those times we lose sight the pourpose for which to write, a note to be read every time it’s missing the reasons to continue, an engagement to be revise to the need to reorganize own work in a new viewpoint and under new scenary....

To be a self-employed worker: expenses of starting activity and management

  Among the many things as self-employed worker I have inserted for ATECO codes, the main activity interested me more at the level of analysis and professional development.  It’s about organization and management not only for that I have built as visual artist, but also and expecially for the important step towards consultancy to third parts.  Among the many analysis in these years of self-employed worker I retain of particularly importance the expenses of starting activity and the expenses of management of the activity.  The expenses and the management aren’t indifferent and they are essential to understand the probabilities to hold not only the national market but also and expecially the global market.  It’s a way to evaluate the possible earnings commensurate to the management in the time and to evaluate the feasibility of self-employed work. Either in the case of starting the activity or management, the main cost is the official headquarters either for studi...
