CYBER1 Solutions on data and identity governance

--:--
Data and identity governance should be a top-of-mind issue for business leaders in 2024.
CYBER1 Solutions MD Jayson O’Reilly and senior cybersecurity architect Christiaan Swanepoel share their insights on this important topic in this episode of TechCentral’s business technology show, TCS+.
They kick off the discussion with a definition of the topic, and why it’s critically important that companies get data and identity governance right in a world of significantly heightened cyber risk.
It’s by no means a new focus area – indeed, many organisations have been trying to solve this for years, decades even, showing just how difficult it is to get right.
O’Reilly and Swanepoel discuss how the threat landscape has evolved over time, and the risks organisations face if they overlook data governance protocols.
In this TCS+ episode, they also tackle these key questions:
• What are examples of the tangible consequences of disregarding data governance and the direct implications for personal security?
• Identity has been a focus for many organisations for the past 10 years or longer, so why does it remain a problem to be solved and what are the roadblocks in getting it done right?
• How does the mishandling of personal information compromise privacy?
• In what ways do emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and the internet of things complicate Identity governance efforts.
• What is the impact of legislation such as South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act and Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation, and what’s next on the horizon from a regulatory perspective?
Don’t miss discussion on a topic of critical importance to modern, data-driven organisations.
