EIC 2015 Topics Overview

Digital Risk

While information products and services of the digital economy require information infrastructure to be increasingly shared across jurisdictions and sectors, we are being faced with a rapidly evolving array of digital risk. In this track moderated by KuppingerCole Analysts Dr. Scott David and Dr. Karsten Kinast, lawyers and experts in privacy & IT law, CSOs/CISOs, GRC practitioners and IT professionals will learn how to assess and ultimately manage and mitigate digital risks through a holistic approach. Holistic, because we cannot solve privacy without simultaneously solving other information risk issues, as security, privacy and liability are each key to solving the others.
