DATA PRIVACY
Data privacy is central to the discussion about IT security and the new level of threats which organizations face today. Despite significant investment in security, many organizations are not prepared for newer, non-traditional forms of security attacks and privacy breaches, and they are becoming increasingly exposed because they are increasingly connected. Gavin Michael, Accenture’s Chief Technology Innovation Officer, will discuss how leveraging new data platforms and orchestrating security resources and responses forms the second line of defence against the current threats to data privacy and IT systems.
