Data Privacy -
A Growing Priority for
MEA Organizations
Data privacy governs how data is collected,
shared, and used. In a more practical sense, it
deals with numerous aspects like the control
process around data sharing with 3rd parties,
where and how that data is stored, and the
specific regulations applicable to those
processes.
Globally, almost all countries, have
introduced some or the other form of
legislation related to data privacy like the
CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) or
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
Thus, there is no -
denying that information & data privacy has
become the need of the hour today.
In an exclusive interaction with Digitaltech
Media, security experts from the MEA (Middle
East & Africa) region share insights into the
factors that businesses must consider when
operating under the purview of data privacy
laws. They also talk about the growth of data
during and in the aftermath of the pandemic
and how data & information privacy will
remain of prime importance in the years to
come.
