Session: The Convergence of Cybersecurity and Data Privacy
At its most basic level, privacy has historically been defined as the right to be left alone. As companies increasingly adopt emerging technologies such as AI, virtual reality, and IoT, the concept of data privacy has come to mean accountability for how personal information is used by the organizations that collect it. Once the data resides on enterprise systems, a connection between data privacy and cybersecurity is formed. The company is accountable for designing cybersecurity controls and programs that protect personal information from theft, unauthorized access, and damage.
