Information Security: Data Protection and Privacy in the Digital Age

Tuesday 15 March 2011, 09.00-16.00

Central London


 

With contributions from: Information Commissioners Office, Liberty, University of Oxford, Parliamentary Information Technology Committee and NHS Direct.

 

In 2010’s Strategic Defence Security Review, the government committed itself to take forward the planned Interception Modernisation Programme of collecting communications data.

The review states the pledge to “introduce a programme to preserve the ability of the security, intelligence and law enforcement agencies to obtain communication data and to intercept communications within the appropriate legal framework”.

Continuing developments in technology, social networking and the on-going growth in cloud computing, pose challenges to ensuring information security. The ways in which information is collected, shared and used mean that data protection and information security policies have to constantly evolve. In November 2010, the European Commission proposed a ‘legal right to be forgotten’, allowing internet users to permanently delete their information on social networking sites.

With this in mind, attend our upcoming Information Security forum and examine progress made in complying information security laws, with session’s examining public confidence in privacy measures; how the public sector can open up government whilst protecting information; and the challenges and opportunities technology bring to protecting information.
