Resolving Dilemmas: Privacy, Security & Public Health

How can businesses successfully manage their needs with data protection, privacy, and security requirements in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic where the sensitive personal data of employees, visitors and suppliers is systematically collected and cyberattacks are on the rise? We are facing a daily balancing act that creates a potentially dangerous dichotomy of public health/cybersecurity versus privacy.

This webinar addresses practical issues to promote the idea that it’s not “public health/security OR privacy”, it’s “public health/security AND privacy”. It will be accomplished through the use of “Janusian Thinking”, which brings opposites together and allows for new non-linear innovative approaches rather than the application of ‘standard’ compromises and solutions.

This second part of our ‘Moving Forward Together’ webinar series is offered to you by UMIO | Maastricht University in partnership with fellow centres and institutes at Maastricht University and beyond to offer you a broad perspective on how to navigate the complexities introduced by the corona pandemic.

This session is offered in collaboration with the Maastricht European Centre on Privacy and Cybersecurity (ECPC), part of the Faculty of Law at Maastricht University.

Over a course of six online episodes, we aim to continue the dialogue with professionals and organisations and shine a light on the next phase of the pandemic in which we are concerned with the prospects of resuming business and reinventing business models, given the restrictions imposed.

If you feel our expertise on privacy and (cyber)security can help you and your organisation get ahead, please get in touch and let’s start creating an impact together!
