Working together is always better. Sometimes mobile work can be isolating and lonely. We want to solve that problem. The purpose of the MWA is to build an empowered and inclusive community of mobile workers. A community that leverages social cohesion to improve the business climate for all mobile workers.

First Aid for the Hacked: Democratizing Cyber Response for the Rest of Us
Volta, 1800 Argyle Street, 8th Floor, Halifax, NS, CARSVP Here: https://luma.com/c1yd9c5s
In 2025 alone, more than $20 billion was lost to internet crime — and the losses land hardest on the people least equipped to recover: the corner store, the retiree, the small clinic, the local school. World-class incident response exists, but for a breached family or a two-person business it might as well not: it's a $400-an-hour phone call and a contract full of jargon. The knowledge to survive the first hour after an attack isn't scarce — it's gated.
This Tech Talk borrows a concept from public health — the "cybersecurity poverty line" — to reframe response as a public good rather than a luxury purchase. Just as we democratized physical first aid with CPR, AEDs, and 911, I argue we can democratize cyber response: calm, plain-language guidance for the moment it happens, free to the people who need it most. Drawing on the work behind HackFirstAid, I show what that looks like in practice — and why protecting the smallest makes everyone safer.
What attendees take away- Why the "cybersecurity poverty line" leaves most households and small organizations undefended — and what that costs everyone
- A simple, repeatable model for the first hour after an incident: Stop, Contain, Recover, Report
- Concrete ways to help make cyber response accessible in their own communities
Speaker bio
Travis Barlow has spent 25+ years in incident response and is the founder of the Atlantic Security Conference (AtlSecCon), one of Canada's leading security events. His latest project, HackFirstAid, grew from a simple conviction: the worst time to figure out what to do after a hack, scam, or breach is while it's happening to you. HackFirstAid delivers calm, plain-language cyber response guidance — free for households and tailored for the small businesses, schools, and organizations that traditional incident response leaves behind.
