Description
The average person provides their personal information to outsiders more than any other time in history. Corporations, governments and even our neighbors can know where we are, who we meet, and can quickly learn all of our preferences and priorities.
The past decade has brought deep changes in the collection of our private information, the regulation of that collection, and in people's sensitivity to loss of privacy. The nascent privacy-threatening technology trends of a decade ago have blossomed into relentless data-capturing systems. To address the expansion of personal data capture, entire data regulatory regimes have arisen throughout the world, with new regulations added each year. People are more concerned, regulators are more aggressive, yet data collection continues to increase with consequences around the world. People want to keep their lives private, but they don't know how.
Lawyer Ted Claypoole and cybersecurity expert Theresa Payton address the significant advances in data-driven technology, their intrusion into our lives, the new security challenges of world rife with ransomware and hacking, and what we can do about it.
