RSA: Learn About the International Association of Privacy Professionals (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on from the peek-a-boo-you-can't-see-me dept.

Today's video is an interview with the Corporate Alliance Director and the Chief Technology Officer of the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), a non-profit organization that claims it is "...the largest and most comprehensive global information privacy community and resource, helping practitioners develop and advance their careers and organizations manage and protect their data." In other words, it's not the same as the much-beloved Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), but is -- as its name implies -- a group of people engaged in privacy protection as part of their work or whose work is about privacy full-time, which seems to be the case for more and more IT and Web people lately, what with HIPAA and other privacy-oriented regulations. This is a growing field, well worth learning more about.

    A visit to their homepage helpfully tells Comodo, Twitter, UserTrust and Google about your visit and drops several cookies, some lasting one or two years. But it's OK - it all goes via SSL so it must be good for privacy.

      The "Platinum Members" listed at the bottom of their site include: Accenture, AstraZeneca, Capital One, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Edelman, HP, Intel, KPMG, LexisNexis, Microsoft, Ponemon, Promontory, and PWC.

      Now in the great /. tradition, I did not read TFA nor watch TFV, but I doubt the listed companies truly have our privacy best interests at heart.
