Engineering an Effective Privacy Game Plan

Putting effective privacy measures into practice can be a difficult task for organizations that lack a comprehensive, well-documented privacy strategy. Without one, enterprises may be exposing customer data to vulnerabilities, and could find themselves at risk of noncompliance with privacy regulations. In this episode of the podcast, Tim Clements, a featured speaker at EuroCACS 2020, explains why every organization should be creating and implementing a privacy strategy, what is at risk if one does not exist and how to get started with creating one. Clements will host the EuroCACS session “Privacy Strategy and Roadmap—Do You Have One, and Is It Aligned With Your Business Strategy?” with Clara Kromann from Pandora on 28 October 2020.

Finding the Human Factor in Work From Home

Once considered a privilege, remote work has become a necessity resulting from the public health risk posed by COVID-19.

Creating Value by Taking Risks and Overcoming Fear of Failure

Framework Overload

Cybersecurity frameworks can be a valuable tool for organizations, helping them implement best practices and establish documentation for complex processes.
