Tech Talk: Data Privacy Day and Good Data Stewardship
CDT’s Tech Talk is a podcast where we dish on tech and Internet policy, while also explaining what these policies mean to our daily lives. You can find Tech Talk on SoundCloud, iTunes, and Google Play.
January 28 is Data Privacy Day and hopefully you all have plans to mark the day. Data Privacy Day is held each year to create awareness about the importance of privacy and protecting personal information – something everyone at CDT certainly believes in.
The theme for 2017 is “Respecting Privacy, Safeguarding Data, and Enabling Trust.” In this episode we hear from Michael Kaiser, the Executive Director of the National Cybersecurity Alliance, on how businesses can be good data stewards. He has tons of practical tips – take a listen!
