Episode Description

On May 25, 2018, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) goes into effect, bringing with it some significant changes to how organizations were protecting personal information under the EU Data Protection Directive. In this episode we discuss this with a couple of GDPR experts who have been deep into the weeds in helping organizations to implement the changes necessary to comply with the GDRP. And this certainly is a hot topic! I did an online news search on Feb 7, and there were 114,000 distinct news articles on this topic, with an unlimited number of opinions, warnings, and sky-is-falling predictions. Join our lively discussion with these two GDPR experts, who are based and work in the EU, to sort out some of the GDPR fictions from the facts, along with giving us some great advice.

There are more information security and privacy threats than ever before. As more technologies emerge, more surveillance tactics are used, and more artificial intelligence systems are deployed, cybersecurity and privacy risks grow exponentially. Rebecca has spent her entire career working to improve information security and privacy protections, by not only raising awareness of the issues within businesses and other types of organizations, but also by raising the awareness of these risks in the public and helping them to understand how to better protect their own personal data, allowing them to take their privacy protections into their own hands. Rebecca offers information about these existing and emerging security and privacy risks and provides fresh insights into the impacts of exploiting these risks, and gives guidance, tips, expert advice and news, with fascinating guests, to help all organizations, and the general public, understand what they need to do to mitigate these risks.
