Privacy is the one of the central issues of our time. With governments monitoring our communication, facial recognition a reality and the vast data oceans these activities create CISO’s need to have a solid understanding of data governance and their role in that process.
Everyone who works in IT has a fiduciary responsibly to their organization and to the organization’s data. We are stewards of the data under our care. Further, everyone working in cybersecurity has an even higher standard of care we must achieve for the organization’s data assets.
CISOs are being tasked with securing this vast ocean of data and at the same time they must adhere to the regulatory environment they operate in and the privacy laws of the countries where their organization’s do business. At the same time, they must ensure policy always meets practice within their organization.
This presentation will attempt to make sense of the duties and responsibilities CISOs find themselves immersed in and offer some insight into how to keep a CISO’s head above water while doing so.
