If you are subscribed to Movistar Plus+ and use the UHD or UHD Smart WiFi decoder, you already have access to a new repertoire of content that you will love if you are interested in computer security, either because you dedicate yourself to it or because you want to get into the subject. This through a ‘Living App’ that has been available since April 18.
If you are a programming lover, work in cybersecurity, or simply want to learn how to always be protected on the Internet, Movistar Plus+ has recently released new content that may interest you a lot.
Since April 18, it is possible to watch a series of interactive courses, conferences or talks on this topic not on a new television channel, but through the Hack by Security Living App. ‘Living Apps’ are an interesting facet of Movistar Plus+ through which third parties can provide content to the platform.
Hack by Security is a Spanish company that carries out computer security audits, and has now designed these contents that people of different profiles and ages can enjoy.
These contents can be useful both for professionals in the sector and for young people and adults who want to learn more about how not to fall for scams and always keep their information safe. Privacy, anonymity, safe browsing, social networks, artificial intelligence or programming are some of the topics on which this content offer will pivot.
Learn about cybersecurity in an entertaining way
This Living App is made up of four main blocks: cybersecurity, awareness, entertainment and events. It thus offers a complete suite with which to learn about cybersecurity from great professionals in the sector, such as the Spanish Chema Alonso or the American Kevin Mitnick.
As for the cybersecurity block itself, it is subdivided into the sections “Cybersecurity in teleworking”, “Cybersecurity in social networks”, “Hacking notions” and “Network scams”. They can be a starting point or an important review of basic concepts of this sector, interesting both for personal motivation and to improve the resume or skills.
In the Events section, on the other hand, you can consult other talks and conferences with renowned experts with whom you can learn about pentesting, python, deep web, etc. As published by the Chief Digital Officer of Telefónica, Chema Alonso in his Blogthis Living App will upload new content soon, so it is an updated platform from which new developments can be expected in the future.
In the context of increased interest in digital skills among the population, initiatives like this can help people without much prior knowledge to get started in the technology sector.
The streaming platform has more Living Apps also with educational content, such as EnlightED with education and technology videos, Linkedin Learning on professional skills or historical and cultural content with the Living App of the Royal Academy of History. The requirement, however, is to have the UHD 4K decoder or the UHD Smart WiFi. You can find more information on how to view these contents at this link.
