INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS:

[01:23] Tell us a little bit about yourself and the work that you do.
[02:04] Cloud Computing enables new business models that attract global revenue streams.
[02:55] Thanks to The Cloud, you no longer need capital to build infrastructure for a business, because businesses are information based.
[03:28] What are some of the challenges businesses face with regards to data security, when migrating to the Cloud?
[03:28] The biggest challenges when migrating to The Cloud is managing the deluge of data.
[03:45] The typical information worker will create 1MB of data/sec.
[04:35] How is the classification of data managed at such a large scale?
[05:03] Nowadays, the creation of data has exploded!
[05:15] Due to the large volume of data, organizations can no longer afford to store all the data they use in everyday business.
[07:30] According to a report published by AT&T, 25% of companies planned to spend their Cybersecurity budgets on Cybersecurity insurance, which means they're "covered" financially in the event of a breach. As a consumer, that does not give me a comfort feeling that my data is protected. What do you think is the solution to this?
[08:00] Financial risk is only one of the issues associated with data breaches. Reputational risk and business ecosystem risk can be much more damaging.
[10:11]We hear about data breaches happening all the time. Once a business moves their data to the Cloud, if a breach occurs, who is responsible? The company, the Cloud vendor, or both? Are there any special considerations for GDPR?
[10:11] Data Protection is always the responsibility of the entity that collects the data (the data controller).
[11:42] Wonder upon wonder! The Russian Federation has a law that all personal data of Russian citizens are to remain within the physical boundaries of Russia.
[12:28] The executive of Putin shut down LinkedIn across all of Russia!
[13:00] There is no national general data protection law in the United States.
[13:30] The difference in data collection between US and EU, is that in the US it's opt in, VS opt out for EU.
[15:29] What's next for data security?
[15:45] In EU, Data Protection is a basic Human Right.
[15:56] in EU you have the right to be forgotten.
[18:25] Change is constant and accelerating.
