The State of Privacy

In 2015, there were impactful as well as pivotal changes regarding privacy in the U.S. and abroad. As the state of privacy continues to evolve rapidly it’s becoming more mainstream with increased awareness and changing expectations from consumers and business. In honor of Data Privacy Day, in partnership with the Computers, Privacy and Data Protection Conference, the National Cyber Security Alliance will host revered leaders from both sides of the Atlantic to initiate a practical and solutions-focused dialogue addressing the current state and future of privacy.

10:50 a.m. ET - Consumer’s View of Privacy: Influencing Business and Driving Change

U.S. consumer awareness about privacy continues to progress. A recent NCSA study revealed 77 percent of people feel it is extremely or very important that companies have easy to understand and accessible information about what personal information is collected about them, how it is used and with whom it is shared. How will consumers’ perceptions effect how business approaches privacy and drive change?

How do we develop a sustainable ecosystem that utilizes new technologies, spurs innovation, respects equality and privacy? Speakers from diverse perspectives will have a new and informed transatlantic discussion surrounding mutual approaches to big data and privacy.
