Known for her ability to “think outside of the box,” she quickly became a leader in the emerging field of Internet law and policy and helped establish standards within the Internet industry. Parry founded WiredTrust, a risk management consulting firm, to advise industry and policy makers. While she is an expert in risk management issues across digital technologies for all demographics, a substantial portion of her time is devoted to issues and technologies impacting children and families online. Dr. Aftab is an award-winning columnist for Information Week magazine. She is also a frequent expert resource for, and quoted by, most leading media outlets around the world. She is a regular on both the Today Show and Good Morning America. Parry Aftab is a sought-after public speaker and has authored several books. When Internet policy, best practices and safety is involved, hers is the first name mentioned. Her expertise in social and community networking risk-management is in high demand and Disney, ToyRUs, Procter & Gamble, the Girl Scouts, MySpace, Facebook, AOL, myYearbook, Bebo, Microsoft, the MPAA, XBox, Webkinz, Sesame Street and MTV, among others, have turned to her for help.
