New Delhi [India], April 29: “Data” is one of the invaluable resources and a growing vulnerability in today’s digitally connected world, rendering data privacy beyond a compliance issue. From personal information and financial details to behavioral data and digital identities, the volume and variety of data being collected, processed, and shared have grown exponentially. As much as opportunities for global connectivity have expanded, the challenges around protecting that data have intensified. Data breaches, identity theft, and surveillance concerns have called for transparency and accountability from both governments and corporations.
On April 21, the Indian Achievers’ Forum hosted a webinar to discuss the key aspects of Data Privacy and Protection in today’s hyper-connected digital world. The session brought together a diverse panel of experts from across industries. A few of the attendees were award winners as well. This online gathering emphasized on important areas like:
