Where privacy collides with technology: backtracking the work from home rush
Show Notes

Covid-19 rushed into our lives. Many business leaders had to make significant operational changes immediately. Technical decisions that generally take months to plan and implement were made in the matter of days. And in this rush to stay productive some business leaders overlooked privacy and security. 

In episode 10, Paul and Ty are joined by Marilyn Sing, Certified Information Privacy Professional and Principal of IPP Consulting to discuss how the pandemic and in particular, the rush to work from home resulted in lax oversight in privacy policy and practices across a broad spectrum of businesses. Marilyn details the evolving landscape noting some of the top concerns and breaches since the start of the pandemic while Paul and Ty offer their perspective on issues where technology intersects with privacy. At the heart of this episode is a recommendation for a comprehensive review of all technical changes made during the move to work from home. A thorough review should be conducted, especially to the changes that could impact privacy or security.
