Data Privacy: Protecting the Data in the Connected World

Introduction

There is no more difference between the computer and the phone, laptop, and any mobile device. With the introduction of the Cloud, IoT, and other modern technologies, the differences are almost erased. However, with the overall connectivity and connectedness, the people and the industry are facing an ever-growing problem of data privacy. People want to be connected, but not to share all of their data and not to have their data stolen or otherwise misused. This highly participative training course will address the major issues of data privacy and prepare for the future, especially now that the sphere of telecommunications is liberalized, and there are many interconnected open network provision service providers. The main effect of this liberalization and open network provision on current telecommunications services is that whereas before there was only one (state-owned) company having full access to and control over the telecommunications infrastructure and its operations, nowadays there are several companies with interwoven infrastructures and operations, which must be on the other side governed by the state and international laws. Therefore, many states have introduced data protection laws, or use their general provision for data protection, while some other entities, for instance European Union have introduced international laws that affect not only the member states but all other enterprises that deal with the data of EU citizens.

Participants attending this Data Privacy training course will develop the following competencies:

• Understand the value of confidentiality in different spheres of life
