Addressing SAP Security Gaps

SAP systems are treated differently than many other enterprise applications from a cybersecurity perspective. Most SAP security teams are siloed and left to meet security objectives on their own. Since SAP is so integral to organizations, it is unusual for SAP security objectives to not be on the radar of an existing 24/7 cybersecurity team executing response actions for Linux or Microsoft environments. SAP teams must be integrated with other cybersecurity groups within an organization to empower them with a security approach that unifies the entire enterprise landscape. A chief information security officer (CISO) has many priorities, but when it comes to SAP environments, CISOs must fully understand how SAP applies to the IT enterprise and organizational environment to help them achieve all security goals. In addition, CISOs need to know their SAP team members personally so they can integrate them rather than contain them in silos. Finally, SAP must be secured to the same degree as other enterprise applications. When there is a Linux, Microsoft, or even a hybrid cloud incident, cybersecurity teams have a detailed plan of action upon which they are ready to act. SAP requires high-level consideration, or critical elements of the business will be vulnerable to malicious cyber actors—with no apparent response.

The Consequences of Not Prioritizing Trust

The Digital Trust Ecosystem Framework (DTEF) was created and developed in response to the need to consider interactions, transactions, relationships, and how trust manifests in a digital environment in order to achieve business benefits. One major negative newsworthy event, significant outage, or improper transaction can change the way stakeholders trust an organization. The harm or potential risks from the lack of digital trust should be recognized. What are some key consequences of not considering your digital trust? This video outlines 10 of them.

DTEF and AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a key extension of digital transformation and has become a household term. Organizations are facing a new data ecosystem that must be met with strong, proactive governance, which is why the Digital Trust Ecosystem Framework (DTEF) can be a key enabler in embedding and supporting trust when it comes to interacting with your customers and consumers. AI will require careful thought about how to balance the advances in innovation with the potential impact on privacy, security, and, most of all, trust. This is why the DTEF framework is a crucial tool in your enterprise’s tool kit.

A Privacy View of the Digital Trust Ecosystem Framework (DTEF)

It can be incredibly challenging for organizations to balance the need for customer data to drive business decisions and the need to respect customers’ privacy. The good news is that ISACA’s Digital Trust Ecosystem Framework (DTEF) can help. Learn how DTEF can be a powerful resource to help ensure privacy is embedded throughout the enterprise and works to build trust and support the organization’s objectives

When You Need COBIT and When You Need DTEF (and Why You Need Both)

ISACA’s Digital Trust Ecosystem Framework (DTEF) is new to the scene, but ISACA has long been a respected leader when it comes to developing impactful industry frameworks such as COBIT. COBIT and DTEF are highly complementary (by design), and each supports enterprise business needs. So, if you are using COBIT already, why do you need DTEF? COBIT and DTEF together give organizations an unmatched opportunity to be more secure, more resilient, and more trustworthy than their competitors. Learn how.

A View into CTEM Exposure Management: Reducing your Attack Surface 3x

Organizations can no longer rely on legacy vulnerability management solutions to protect against even basic attacks. Instead, vulnerability management is just one small component in a unified continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) approach to securing an enterprise from malicious intruders and ransomware. In addition to vulnerability management, security around misconfigurations, patching, identity, software, external attack surfaces, and more must be included. In this ISACA Podcast, Nanitor Chief Strategist Derek Melber explains that an organization can prevent breaches and ransomware by taking an asset-centric prioritized-security approach that includes all of these security areas.

Strategies for Avoiding Burnout

Chronic workplace stress can lead to burnout, which poses a significant risk to the mental health of busy professionals, such as auditors. But how can these professionals protect themselves from burnout? And how can their employers help them do so? If you are interested in learning the answers to these questions, then watch as ISACA’s Robin Lyons and Dr. Elena Klevsky, Assistant Professor of Accounting at the University of Tampa, discuss strategies for avoiding burnout. Inspired by the Sustainable Model of Human Energy proposed by Ryan Quinn, Gretchen Spreitzer and Chak Fu Lam, these strategies focus on managing your personal energy by increasing resources, decreasing job demands, practicing skills and tasks, and monitoring energy. Properly implementing these strategies has the potential to help busy professionals ensure that they have sufficient resources to meet their job demands, and, therefore, increase the likelihood that they feel energized instead of exhausted.

What Kind of Glasses Are You Wearing? Your View of Risk May Be Your Biggest Risk of All

The world of business has changed dramatically over the past few years. Our digital world is more connected than ever, leaving security and technology teams stretched even thinner. Privacy and data regulations are increasing on a state and national level, threat actors are learning and evolving, and cybersecurity has finally become a boardroom priority!

Traditional risk management approaches make a lot of promises, but most of them are myths. Do any of these sound familiar? ● You can make better-informed decisions by using a single platform. ● You can use automation to achieve continuous compliance. ● You can implement risk management by creating a risk register. ● You can use qualitative attributes to measure and assess risk. In this episode, we’ll assess risk management myths and discuss how to establish scalable, quantifiable, and always-on risk management for the future.

How Organizations Can Consistently Reduce Cyberrisk

Cyber threats are now a “clear and present danger” to most organizations, companies and governments of the world. A good cyber defense involves many, intricate layers. You can never have enough layers, just like you can never remove all the risk. In order for organizations to reduce as much risk as possible, in a rapidly shifting threat landscape, they must constantly make improvements. The threat groups are making rapid improvements and increasing their expertise at a steady rate. They are investing in R&D and Zero-Day exploits. To offer a good defense, we must make progress at the same rate as the threat groups or we may fall behind, increasing risks and allowing the cyber world to become like the “wild-wild west.”

Key Considerations for Conducting Remote IT Audits

The Future of Technology Risk: 4 Ways to Build Stakeholder Trust in the Technology Risk Imperative

Today, the pace of change across industries is quicker than ever before. Economic, political, and social unrest and a global climate crisis have placed unprecedented disruption and pressures on organizations looking to navigate a rapidly changing environment. Firms are being out-innovated and entire industries are being disrupted in a matter of months or years, as opposed to decades. Shifting regulations, data as an asset, dynamic customer behavior and employee expectations of continued flexibility in a more virtual workplace add to the challenge. Technology risk and compliance needs to adjust to this new reality. The strategy and value of an organization’s technology risk management are becoming essential to build and secure stakeholder trust. That means moving closer to the point where the risk events occur and using preventative, detective, and automated controls as much as possible. In this podcast, Beth McKenney, a Principal in the KPMG Technology Risk service network, offers a game plan for companies to meet these today’s challenges with an eye on building stakeholder trust. That means having a proactive, rather than a reactive, approach to risk management.

Risky Business – Jon Brandt

For the average person, life moves quickly. But for business leaders and anyone involved in any aspect of IT, the pace at which technology is changing is overwhelming.

Instead, 2023 will be when multiple regulatory bodies express their mounting frustration with public and private companies' collective inability to reduce the volume and impact of prior cyber attacks. Tune into this ISACA Episode as Hyperproof’s Field CISO, Kayne McGladrey, speaks with ISACA’s Jeff Champion on how 2023 will be the year of risk.

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. In this ISACA Podcast episode, Safia Kazi host Dr. Patrick Offor, Chief Warrant Officer Five Retired (CW5(R)); Associate Faculty, to discuss his recently released ISACA Journal article.

Should Cybersecurity Be Subject to a SOX-Type Regulation?

Numerous laws and regulations have been passed to protect sensitive information, both at the federal and state level, creating a patchwork of requirements for companies to comply with. However, with limited resources for cybersecurity investment, this uncoordinated approach has clouded objectives and led to decision paralysis within firms. Could cybersecurity implementation benefit from a Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) type approach? This approach would create a risk-based, internal control model focused on cybersecurity that includes enforcement capabilities and requires third-party oversight and executive accountability.

Protecting Your Enterprise and Deterring Fraud in a New Risk Era

As uncertainty persists due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, international cyberthreats, inflation, and a looming recession, it is clear that the world has entered a new era of risk. These factors have created the perfect storm for rising fraud. In the past year, unauthorized digital account openings increased by 21%, while smartphone-related cyberattacks soared by 71%, reflecting a changing threat landscape impacting enterprises and consumers alike. According to one global survey, nearly half of all respondents experienced fraud in the past 24 months, 3 compromising financial resources, personal data, and peace of mind with frightening rapidity. Recent research we have completed also reflects that “60% of Consumers Don't Believe Companies Do Enough to Protect Their Data as Demand for Security Grows". Listen to the CEO of GBG Americas, Christina Luttrell, as she explains that, as a result, identity verification is a priority for organizations and government agencies that view it as a strategic differentiator that allows them to enhance the customer experience while improving their defensive posture at a critical time in this ISACA podcast episode.

Enabling Digital Trust through Canada's Digital Charter

Data are the lifelines of a digital economy. They drive innovation, enabling cutting-edge research and next-generation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and the Internet of things (IoT). But these opportunities introduce new sources of risk that must be managed appropriately. Canadians are raising important questions such as, “How will personal data be used?” and “What controls are in place to safeguard privacy and security?” To encourage innovation within the digital economy while managing this risk, the Government of Canada has established the need for digital trust between citizens and organizations as an enabler by implementing a Digital Charter. As the Canadian government cites, “Trust is the foundation on which our digital and data-driven Canadian economy will be built.” This digital trust is defined by the “confidence that users have in the ability of people, technology, and processes to create a secure digital world. Tune into this ISACA Podcast as the Acting Director of Internal Assurance at the Office of Enterprise Risk & Assurance of the University of British Columbia (UBC), Mary Carmichael, join’s ISACA’s Safia Kazi to explore topics including what is the Digital Charter and how it supports digital trust; what are critical elements of the Digital Charter (e.g., AI Ethics, Privacy, Principles for the Digital Economy); what are the implications for organizations and the public.

Managing Cybersecurity Risk as Enterprise Risk

Cybersecurity incidents like ransomware can potentially bring operations to a standstill. Recent regulatory changes by the FTC and proposed changes by the SEC show that both agencies are drafting cybersecurity rules similar to ERM concepts. This would include board oversight of cybersecurity and the responsibility of senior management to implement cybersecurity policies and procedures and provide training for information security staff that is sufficient for them to address relevant security risks. In addition, this could mean that your organization may be required to report incidents and disclose cybersecurity policies and procedures. Tune in to this ISACA Podcast episode to listen in as Cyber Defense Labs’ Manager of Cybersecurity Advisory Services Tom Schneider tells ISACA’s Jeff Champion that any threat to this essential information is an enterprise risk that needs to be managed by the enterprise through teamwork, with leadership from both the board and senior management.

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.

Why (And How to) Dispose of Digital Data

The stakes are too high for organizations not to comply with data privacy regulations,” Bassel Kablawi states in his article, "Why (and How to) Dispose of Digital Data." As the Information Security and Data Privacy Consultant for System Solutions, Bassel Kablawi has the knowledge and experience to determine that the value of data disposal can help an organization protect personal data from being exposed and why the final step in the Data Lifecycle could be considered the most crucial. Bassel takes us on a deep dive into digital data with ISACA's Safia Kazi on the five stages of data disposal in this ISACA podcast episode.

Still, often employees forget about an insecure environment once the work has been completed and they have moved on to another project. “We don’t always need to audit things; sometimes you can gauge risk by having a conversation with stakeholders…on how they manage databases,” says Adam Kohnke, Cybersecurity Architect for Charter Next Generation. Adam joins ISACA’s Jon Brandt in this episode to discuss his recently released ISACA Journal article, “Managing Security Across Disparate Database Technologies.” Adam breaks down best practices for User Access Management, Encryption, and Logging.

Smarter Testing = Safer Digital Experiences

Application testing is a critical component of a software development lifecycle. A complete testing battery for any application includes not only functionality and usability testing but security and reliability testing as well. However, helping ensure that security testing in particular produces results that focus on actionable items – with accurate relative priorities – has been a persistent challenge. Are actionable items from testing actually going to move the needle in terms of product quality and resilience – especially in how they manage evolving threats? While the “OWASP Top 10” and “CWE/SANS Top 25” are still important, they represent merely a reasonable beginning to a security testing strategy. How do you go beyond those lists and become truly more “adversary-aware” in testing? In addition, how do you make sure that these testing efforts genuinely help your development teams “shift left” in their thinking and implementation of better security controls in your applications? These are challenges Adobe set out to solve by not just making our testing efforts more extensive or frequent – but smarter, and with as tight of alignment as possible to the software development lifecycle and even closer in modeling real-world adversary threats. We invite you to join Shannon Lietz, VP, Adobe Security, as she speaks with ISACA's IT Audit Professional Practices Principal, Robin Lyons for a discussion of these issues and others that we must address as an industry to make us genuinely more “DevSecOps”-minded in our approach to application security testing. Robin and Shannon will discuss Adobe’s overall strategy around our application testing efforts and how smarter testing is fundamental to achieving a true “shift left” approach around application security. They will also talk about how this effort is really going to help us deliver the safer digital experiences users are demanding.

Epic Fails of the Cybersecurity Industry

The cyber security industry was founded to protect businesses from getting breached. Simple. Yet, since the first computer virus was reported more than three decades ago – breaches have increased exponentially year after year, after year. In the last year alone just over eight and a half billion records were reported as breached. At ISACA Oceania Conference 2021, Richard Hollis, Director of Risk Crew, spoke on “Epic Fails of the Cybersecurity Industry” and started a controversial conversation. Mr. Hollis believes and clearly showcases his feeling that the industry has failed with its core objective – miserably. Could it be that the cyber security industry is, in fact, NOT designed to stop breaches? Check out this video as Mr. Hollis breaks down the statistics that are everywhere and overwhelming.

A Security Awareness Program for PCI-DSS Compliance

People are considered the weakest link in any organization’s cybersecurity defenses. Hence, in most cases, the primary targets of cyber-attackers are the employees of the organization. In addition, people are easier to compromise and exploit unlike finding a single software to breach an organization or enterprise business. While a lot of efforts go into improving the existing security infrastructure, ignorance of human resources would leave a significant gap in the defense strategy. Join ISACA’s Research Advisor, Brian Fletcher, as he is joined by Dr. Yasmin Razack, author of “A Security Awareness Program for PCI DSS Compliance: Implementation and Legal and Ethical Issues to Be Considered”. In this episode, they will be addressing the challenges in implementing a security awareness program to fill this gap and the legal/ethical issues that needs to be considered during implementation. As per the Payment Card Industry – Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) requirement 12.6, a Security Awareness Program is mandatory to be held at least once a year and for new hires. However, it is not an easy task and cannot be a one-time activity. But if implemented effectively, awareness programs can be the human firewall of the organization. It will make the organization compliant to regulations like PCI-DSS thereby protecting it from fines due to non-compliance, defamation, costs of data breaches and will help improve customer trust and loyalty.

Industry Spotlight with Raven David

"For me, it's all about working with people... at the end of the day, you want to work in a place where you can trust other individuals, you can get to know other individuals, and being personable with one another makes an organization great to work for," Raven David tells ISACA. In this Industry Spotlight episode, we meet Raven David, Cyber Risk and Governance Manager for The University of New South Wales (UNSW). Fascinated with technology at an early age, the native Australian recalls that he spent part of his childhood disassembling computers and putting them back together to understand better how they worked. This passion led him on a fantastic life journey and set him on a path to dominate the industry as a risk management, governance, compliance, assurance, and emerging technologies expert. Raven talks about his less traditional educational and career track. While working full-time, he managed a full-time class schedule simultaneously, to a career that allowed him to establish and manage a cyber risk and compliance team within a corporation of 5,000+ employees. Listen as Raven recaps the success of his cybersecurity awareness program, gives thoughtful advice to the next generation of young professionals, and discusses his current self-educating project, 3D printed chess set with Arduino-powered actuators and a Python chess engine.  As an active contributor to ISACA and the ISACA Sydney Chapter, Raven recently volunteered, mentored, and led the 2021 Oceania Conference Taskforce and is currently a CRISC Certification Working Group.

Ensuring that Cybersecurity is Everyone’s Job

If cybersecurity and privacy responsibilities are not documented in job descriptions, then it is likely that staff will assume that cybersecurity is not a primary responsibility for them because management did not consider it significant enough to include. Collin and Tom will delve into these topics and why keeping cybersecurity on everyone’s mind will be better in the long run.

Privacy in the Dark (Data)

Listen in as Safia Kazi, ISACA's Privacy Professional Practice Advisor, as she speaks with Steve Ross, Executive Principal of Risk Masters International, about his article "Privacy in the Dark (Data)". Organizations have a lot of “dark data”; information that they have collected, filed and forgotten. Some of it concerns people, so there is a privacy concern about how that data is secured. Both enterprising cyberattackers and litigants using eDiscovery tools have incentive to search through this dark data to see what they might make use of. The potential for misuse calls for greater attention to the security of this data.

What Will it Take to Reach DevSecOps Maturity?

While our development teams have been busy running full speed ahead using the latest and greatest technology to build amazing products, security teams haven’t always been known to keep the same pace – and we have reached a point of “developer revolt.” Security teams are still too often viewed as producers of “design constraints” by development teams versus “reliable partners” in helping them build better software. The path to changing this is getting security more tightly integrated into the DevOps pipeline – and working to make security even more of everyone’s responsibility. In this podcast Shannon Lietz, Adobe’s VP of Vulnerability Labs, will discuss some of the opportunities for security teams to become trusted partners, providing a roadmap for how DevSecOps needs to evolve to reach necessary maturity, and discuss some of the efforts that can help the broader security industry get better at this essential security muscle.

Gaining Digital Trust by Eliminating Privacy Dark Patterns

With the growing emphasis on consent for collecting and processing data, some enterprises have turned to tricking data subjects into giving their consent by using privacy dark patterns. Privacy dark patterns can manifest in numerous ways, from confusing user interface design to manipulative language. In this episode Jonathan Brandt, ISACA's Director of Professional Practices and Innovation, is joined by ISACA's Privacy Professional Practices Principal, Safia Kazi, who defines and provides examples of privacy dark patterns, their consequences, and how to avoid them. Jon and Safia also discuss how privacy dark patterns affect digital trust, which can ultimately hurt an enterprise's reputation and customers.

Internal Control Using COBIT 5

Download your copy of the free corresponding whitepaper here: http://bit.ly/2uTpS8s A free Internal and Mitigating Control Selection Worksheet is also available under "Related Items" here: http://bit.ly/2uTpS8s Synopsis: In any organization, uncertainty is everywhere. External factors such as industry outlooks and consumer sentiment can have substantial impact on an organization’s growth and strategy. Internal factors within the organization also arise, such as IT security, ethics, and financial compliance. These external and internal factors introduce risk to an organization’s ability to meet goals and objectives. Every organization must establish processes that ensure risk is managed. These policies are called ”internal controls.” Failing to mitigate these risk factors may result in regulatory issues, ethical misconduct, or security breaches—the consequences of which can be severe. Therefore, it is vital to establish a properly managed control environment to create assurance and confidence in the organization’s activities and outcomes. An effective way to achieve that goal is to use the COBIT 5 framework for governance of enterprise IT as an overarching framework for various standards, frameworks and best practices being used in that control environment. At the enterprise level, the separation of governance controls and internal controls in many organizations may lead to miscommunication, inefficiency, and an inability to effectively deliver value to stakeholders. Using the COBIT 5 governance framework for internal controls can streamline and eliminate these inefficiencies, by aligning controls with business objectives, and by creating a cohesive methodology across the governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) functions. This video explores this concept in detail. Learn more: http://bit.ly/2uTpS8s

Ted Harrington Explains His Upcoming Workshop at CSX 2017 North America Conference

In his seminal work The Art of War, Sun Tzu advocated that we must “know thy enemy” in order to defeat that enemy. Utilizing a mixture of presentation and group exercise modules, this workshop leverages that mantra, adopting the attacker’s viewpoint in order to understand how to defend. Presented by the elite group of security researchers and consultants widely known as the first company to hack the iPhone, this session examines secure design principles, attack anatomies, and real world case studies from a variety of industries. Notably, this session extracts lessons from recently published security research by the presenters, including the seminal whitepaper Hacking Hospitals, in which it was investigated how hackers could cause patient harm or fatality. Attendees can expect to be challenged to consider a new defense paradigm, and will leave with actionable guidance that can be immediately implemented at their organizations.

Overview of Digital Forensics

When a cyber incident occurs, IT’s best practice is to respond with a set of predetermined actions. Applying digital forensics to aid in the recovery and investigation of material on digital media and networks is one of these actions. Digital forensics is defined as the “process of identifying, preserving, analyzing and presenting digital evidence in a manner that is legally acceptable in any legal proceedings (i.e., a court of law).” To download the accompanying whitepaper, click here: http://bit.ly/2rerSCZ.

US DoD’s CMMC Guidelines — What You Need to Know

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification or CMMC is a new security program being released by the US DoD. If you are a DoD contractor, your livelihood could be at stake as contract requirements and contractors will need to be certified or a contract won’t be awarded. Listen in as TelaTek's Director of Operations, Johann Dettweiler breaks down these new requirements published in his latest journal article with ISACA's CMMI Professional Practice Lead, Kileen Harrison. Johann discusses the importance of all organizations —big or small—going through the different levels of security in the CMMC guidelines, starting at Level 1 and working their way up. What is the most important thing an organization needs to get started? The ability to read, familiarize and understand the different levels of CMMC otherwise, they won’t know how to implement it in their organization and will have to hire a third party. These CMMC requirements are here to stay and will only continue to get more stringent the more hacks and attacks keep increasing.

Security As A Service

What is security as a service and when is it needed? Tune in as ISACA’s Cyber Pros explain how the increase in hacks and attacks are forcing companies to take cyber security more seriously. The bad news is, there is a lack of cyber security professionals in the field and those who do have the necessary skillset to manage a company’s security are becoming more and more costly. Academia is trying to help get the security workforce up to speed quickly, but they are failing. Until we see an influx of new and skilled cyber security professionals, security as a service is an option that can save your company both time and money and help assure that your company’s data and information is safe and secure.

IT Audit in Practice: Survival When You are Small-business Continuity and Resilience

Everyone needs a resilient operating model, and the pandemic has been the reality check showing how necessary it is to have a plan. Was your small-business or corporation prepared for the shift to remote work in early 2020? If not, you probably realized that business continuity is more than having the right systems and applications in place. The most important factor is people! Although both large and small enterprises have accommodated and adapted, the smaller organizations with fewer resources and time have faced equal or greater hurdles when it comes to this type of planning. Join ISACA’s IT Professional Practices Lead, Kevin Keh, as he interviews Cindy Baxter, Director, What’s the Risk, LLC and discusses the importance of having a business continuity and resilience plan for your business. Cindy discusses consistently updating your crisis team and notification systems, the importance of allowing an auditor to fully understand your business, accepting critical feedback throughout the entire audit process vs. waiting for the final report and more! Cindy also mentions how small business owners and employees shouldn’t get defensive or take the findings personally. Remember, the value comes not in the result, but in the adoption of the results and recommendations.

Privacy-Preserving Analytics and Secure Multiparty Computation

Organizations are increasingly concerned about data security in several scenarios, including collecting and retaining sensitive personal information; processing personal information in external cloud environments, and information sharing. Commonly implemented solutions do not provide strong protection from data theft and privacy disclosures. Privacy and risk management professionals are particularly concerned about the privacy and security of data analytics that are shared externally. Compliance of privacy regulations such as the US State of California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other emerging regulations around the world require techniques for secure processing of sensitive data. Listen in as ISACA’s Safia Kazi interviews Chief Security Strategist and data protection expert, Ulf Mattsson on the latest on privacy-preserving techniques.
