MIKKO Niemelä talks about the dark web, the deep web and what goes on in these virtual places.
The dark web is particularly fascinating for the activities that take place there, he explained at the recent Keep It Going: the Nth revolutioN on Machine Learning & Design.

Mikko shares how organisations and individuals could better protect their identities and minimise exposure to threats.
