The SolarWinds and Kaseya attacks brought supply chain attacks into mainstream awareness.
But this threat isn’t new. So why do organisations continue to struggle to secure their supply
chains?
‍
From software supply chain attacks to third-party risk management strategies, PrivSec Global
will provide expert, practical guidance on how your business can protect itself, its partners, and
its customers from this increasingly widespread and harmful threat.

With daily reports of data breaches harming thousands of consumers, ransomware attacks
affecting critical infrastructure, and state-sponsored hackers intercepting private
communications, it’s easy to believe that the cybercriminals are winning.
But the cyber-pandemic meets a powerful resistance: highly-trained security professionals,
ethical hackers, and innovative technologies designed to help society stay one step ahead of
the threat actors.
‍
PrivSec Global will explore how the threat landscape has emerged over recent months—and
how people and technology can help us maintain control.

Data protection law has grown into a flourishing and vital area of legal practice and regulatory
oversight. But the rules change on a near-daily basis—and approaches continue to vary
considerably between jurisdictions.

With consumer data protection law strengthening in countries like China and Brazil—but
possibly liberalising in the UK—PrivSec Global will draw on expert analyses to help data
protection and privacy professionals prepare for the future.

Think AI, security, and data protection are entirely separate fields? Think again.
The complex
processing of personal data that fuels AI systems will be the number one concern for many
privacy and security professionals over the coming years.
‍
PrivSec Global will explore the crucial role of data protection and cybersecurity professionals in
ensuring AI systems are private, unbiased, and secure—and consider how you can secure your
place in this increasingly important field.

The question of how to deliver secure digital identity permeates through many fields—from
payment processing to access management to government services.
But beyond security, the question of how—or whether—individuals should be tied to a single
digital identity raises ethical and privacy issues, too.

PrivSec Global will consider how various fields approach the topic digital identity, and look at
how secure and proficient implementation of digital identity can improve trust and efficiency.

Data protection and security are crucial considerations when developing nascent or innovative
technologies. If our homes, cities, roads, and workplaces are to be inseparably connected to
autonomous devices and vehicles, building in privacy and security from the start is essential.
‍
PrivSec Global will explore how the fields of data protection, data science, and cybersecurity
form a crucial part of increasingly important innovative technologies—from IoT to blockchain to
autonomous drones and vehicles.

Rumours of the death of the third-party cookie may have been greatly exaggerated, with
Google’s FLoC proposals being repeatedly delayed and the UK planning to liberalise online
consent rules.
But forward-thinking businesses should still be preparing for a digital advertising space
designed to appease increasingly privacy-conscious consumers.
‍
PrivSec Global will consider what lies ahead for the multi-billion dollar digital advertising
industry, and offer guidance on how businesses can continue to advertise online in a more
ethical and trustworthy way.

Trust is a crucial part of your organisation’s relationship with its customers. Transparency—the
key to earning consumer trust—is a legal requirement. And embracing trust and transparency
can help your organisation thrive in the digital age.
Run down the list of GDPR fines and privacy class actions—you’ll see that a lack of
transparency remains one of the main stumbling blocks for businesses’ compliance regimes.
‍
PrivSec Global will explore how trust and transparency permeate all aspects of governance,
risk, and compliance—and provide practical guidance for how your organisation can earn the
trust of its stakeholders.
