“The Online Trust Alliance was formed in 2006 to developed and advance best practices in privacy and security. Since Online Privacy and Data Protection Day was first observed a decade ago, these issues have become increasingly important,” said Spiezle. “In the Webinar we will discuss how organizations can best protect the privacy of sensitive consumer information, their intellectual property, and ensure the continuing security of their information networks.”
“In the near future, billions of devices will be connected to the Internet, through what has become known as the Internet of Things, said Postma. “Cryptosoft’s mission is to ensure that businesses and consumers can realize the tremendous benefits offered by this next stage in the digital transformation, without compromising the privacy of data or security. We are delighted Craig Spiezle from the Online Trust Alliance will join us to address these issues on this important day.”
