ISACA Live | The Dark Future of Privacy

Privacy Mining will increase because of billions of IoT devices being connected every day. Combined with advanced psychologic research, this can be a very powerful tool for manipulating people's behavior. A Fake reality also poses a big threat to our future of privacy. Software, such as Deep Fakes, has the ability to use someone's facial structure and create fake videos featuring digitally created characters with an uncanny resemblance of real people, such as celebrities.

This technology is so advanced, that our minds aren't sophisticated enough to comprehend the difference between real and fake data created by it, which leads to the next point. We are entering a trust crisis.

Trust is the foundation for innovation and technological advance. If people don't trust autonomous cars - they won't use them; if people don't certain websites - they won't read their news; Without trust, we cannot move forward, which is why we need to raise awareness about the dark future of privacy.

Information Privacy Contradiction: Interest-Based Posture of Compliance and Violation

Why do individuals, organizations, institutions, nations, or responsible agents work hard to preserve their personal and enterprise data, personnel information, trade secrets, intellectual properties, technical know-how, or national data, yet easily trade on the individual and enterprise data and national data of others?

To understand and answer the question appropriately, one must examine the underlying of the Information Privacy Realities Contradiction Theory (IPRCT), which is integral to (1) our natural unity of opposites, (2) our material dialectic mechanism or struggle of choosing from the opposites, and (3) the role of our self-interest in time and circumstance. Therefore, understanding the intricacies of the IPRCT would be instrumental to the proper and timely introduction of privacy requirements early in our system development lifecycle and in the development and enactment of information privacy policies, directives, guidance, and regulations around the world.
