The Evolving Cyber Threat Landscape in Healthcare

As data collection and analysis become increasingly central to business, research, and governance, protecting sensitive information is more crucial than ever. This session will examine the privacy, ethical, and security challenges involved in analyzing sensitive data such as personal health records, financial information, and other confidential datasets. 

Key questions to be addressed include: 
- How can sensitive data be ethically and responsibly analyzed while still protecting individual privacy? 
- What technical and policy safeguards are essential when working with sensitive data? 
- How can risks related to re-identification, unauthorized access, and data leakage be mitigated? 
 
This talk presented industry thought leader Donald Farmer will review best practices and frameworks for enabling secure and ethical data analysis across various industries and applications. Expert perspectives on navigating emerging regulations, managing tradeoffs, and aligning analytical objectives with privacy values will be discussed. Attendees will gain critical insights into analyzing sensitive data securely while upholding public trust and mitigating risks.

Analyzing Sensitive Data: Privacy, Ethics, and Security Considerations

The US data privacy laws in the US are shifting from a "harms-prevention-based" approach to a "rights-based approach exemplified by the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Following California's lead, four other states, including Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia, will begin enforcing new GDPR-inspired statutes in 2023. The shift in the philosophical framework will have profound implications for data privacy protection.

The US has historically allowed businesses and institutions to collect personal information without consent while regulating those uses to prevent or mitigate harm in specific sectors. The EU, on the other hand, has long pursued a rights-based regime for protecting personal information, which holds that data privacy is a fundamental human right. This has roots in Europe's history of suffering through the infamous data collection of the Nazis and the similar collection of data by the formerly communist East Germany's secret police. The GDPR, which became enforceable in 2018, codified several key principles reflecting the Europeans' human rights philosophy. The new laws will be applicable to specific industries and types of institutions and will impose restrictions on industries and institutions regarding their handling of personal information. More states are likely to follow the GDPR in the coming years.

This webinar entails to:
- Introduce the market drivers of the US privacy laws industry and their roles.
- Illustrate the shift in the philosophy underlying data privacy laws in the US.
- Comparison of the US "harms-prevention-based" approach vs the European Union's approach is more rights-based.
- Summary of the EU ‘s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which became enforceable in 2018.
- Understanding how the principles reflected in the new data privacy framework will have profound implications in the years to come.

The New Era of Data Privacy Laws

The difficulties of securing data in cloud-native applications are many, for example:
• There exists a proliferation of data islands, complicating the creation of a unified cloud security view;
• As microservices are created, evolved, and removed, those islands can remain unused—yet still pose a risk to you;
• Propagation and caching of sensitive data between microservices can result in compliance blindness.

That’s not to mention the variety of data storage formats with which IT pros must contend and protect (such as file, object, block, and SQL). Let’s hit the reset button, shall we?

Join us in this Fireside Chat at the Data Security Risks and Challenges BrightTALK Summit to discover 5 principles—based on the basics—with which you can improve cloud-native app security and to see how CNAPP solutions are making a real difference. Tim Miller, Technical Marketing Engineer at Outshift by Cisco joins the discussion with Enterprise Strategy Group analysts.

Securing Your Data in a Cloud-Native Application World

Companies need to understand “wicked” problems, and the best way to navigate the organization during periods of uncertainty.

Companies should ask themselves how speedy their response be to a data security incident, when escalating to the senior leadership team, more so when it is an extortion and/or ransomware attack that involves critical data sets.

Tune into this session presented by disaster recovery and cyber resilience expert Steve Yates as he brings to light the crisis management options for those scary technology moments for when super speedy decisions are needed (or are they)?
