Keynote: Why Digital Trust Should Be #1 in Your Institution’s Privacy Practices

Presented by: Joanna Grama and Jim Siegl

Too often, the concept of Digital Trust (DT) is buried in the conversation when it comes to privacy practices. What are the best methods and strategies to shine the spotlight on Digital Trust and make it an integral part of your privacy practice? Kick-off your Digital Trust Summit experience with Future of Privacy Forum technologists, Joanna Grama and Jim Siegl, who collectively bring more than 40 years of Digital Trust experience collectively.

In this keynote, they will share concrete examples of how to ensure that earned trust is kept when developing privacy practices at your university, discuss learner analytics and the promise of big data,  explain what we can learn about DT from K-12 and offer five practice areas for building a trusted ecosystem.

Keynote by Adah Parris and Marques Anderson: How Might We Approach Individual and Collective Sovereignty in the 21st Century?

The 21st Century is integrating developments in biology, materials and information technologies at an accelerating pace. Therefore, the future of how humans relate to and intertwine with technology and machines is being defined at this very moment.

As we evolve into shaping and defining a new technological infrastructure, what needs to be considered as we approach trust technologies like sovereign identity, blockchain, cryptocurrencies and decentralized autonomous organizations alongside digital experiences that prioritize Agency? How might we shift from historical institutional models to new integrated self-determining models that support a regenerative future? Visionaries Adah Parris (Futurist, Cultural Strategist and Systems Artist) and Marques D. Anderson (Cyborg anthropologist, innovator and worldbuilder) will explore these questions and use the lens of ancient wisdom to uncover new approaches to digital trust.

Cyber Security and the Future of Work

Presented by:  Ismael Peinado, CTO, Toptal

The Future of Work -- distributed teams spread across continents and a mix of full-time and contract talent -- presents new security challenges. Even after more than a year of forced remote work, most companies still do not understand the biggest threats to their security.

In this session, Ismael Peinado, CTO at Toptal, the world’s largest fully remote company, will address the most critical security risks facing companies of all sizes and how to prevent them.

In this session you will learn:

* Common security policies vs. the reality of today's threats
* Practical security: SecOps as a better alternative to legacy security teams
* The difference in threats of script kiddies and skilled hackers
* Why government-mandated security certifications are often useless
* Secure desktops in remote environments

How to Implement a People-Centric Approach to Cybersecurity

Presented by: Curtis Wray, Security Solutions Architect, Proofpoint

Cyber-attackers have shifted their focus from exploiting the defender’s infrastructure into exploiting people — Facebook and LinkedIn have now become the attacker’s greatest asset in their penetration toolset.

While there is still a need for traditional security tools and all the logs and forensics that come with them, aligning a defensive security strategy with the same way attackers operate is both a more efficient and effective approach. In this session, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your people (in how they are attacked), what business privileges they have (and therefore the potential business risks associated with that) and their potential vulnerabilities in order to augment existing security frameworks and methodologies in a more people-centric way.

Keynote Speaker: The Time to Embed Privacy, by Design is Now, Before Mounting Surveillance Overtakes Us!

Presented by: Ann Cavoukian, Ph.D.

Privacy is essential — it forms the foundation of our freedom and must be preserved at all cost, now and well into the future. With surveillance mounting, we must be proactive in our privacy-protective measures, in an effort to prevent the harms from arising.

That is what Privacy by Design (PbD) is all about: embedding privacy into your operations, baking it into your code so that privacy-invasive efforts can be prevented. Join the creator of Privacy by Design to learn all about the 7 Foundational Principles of PbD and start protecting privacy, right from the outset!”

Ann Cavoukian, Ph.D, former 3-term Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, Canada, will talk about Privacy by Design, which she created in 1997, and is now followed globally, having been translated into 40 languages. PbD applies to the changing landscape of cybersecurity, privacy, and digital trust, and the essential need to be proactive.
