Schedule and Faculty

Conference Theme: Embracing challenges and opportunities: learning new ways to work while understanding new risks and obligations around protecting data

Wednesday, September 9

9:00 am

Welcome & Introductory Comments

9:15 am

Keynote: Data and Goliath

  • Professor Bruce Schneier, Harvard Kennedy School, Cambridge, Massachusetts
You are under surveillance right now. Your cell phone provider tracks your location and knows who's with you. Your online and in-store purchasing patterns are recorded, and reveal if you're unemployed, sick, or pregnant. Your e-mails and texts expose your intimate andcasual friends. Google knows what you're thinking because it saves your private searches. Facebook can determine your sexual orientation without you ever mentioning it. Corporations use surveillance to manipulate not only the news articles and advertisements we each see, but also the prices were offered. Governments use surveillance to discriminate, censor, chill free speech, and put people in danger worldwide. And both sides share this information with each other or, even worse, lose it to cybercriminals in huge data breaches. Much of this is voluntary: we cooperate with corporate surveillance because it promises us convenience, and we submit to government surveillance because it promises us protection. The result is a mass surveillance society of our own making. But have we given up more than we've gained? Security expert Bruce Schneier offers another path, one that values both security and privacy.

Midday Keynote Presentation: NIST Privacy Framework Version 1.0

  • Dylan Gilbert, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Gaithersburg, Maryland

As the Internet and associated information technologies drive unprecedented innovation, economic value, and access to social services, the amount of data about individuals that is changing hands is nearly incalculable. Many of these technological advancements are powered by individuals’ data flowing through a complex ecosystem. Finding ways to continue to derive benefits from data while also protecting individuals’ privacy is challenging and not well-suited to one-size-fits-all solutions.

To enable better privacy engineering practices and help organizations protect individuals’ privacy, NIST developed the Privacy Framework: A Tool for Improving Privacy through Enterprise Risk Management (Privacy Framework) following a transparent, consensus-based process including both private and public stakeholders. The voluntary Privacy Framework is a flexible tool intended to be widely usable by organizations of all sizes and agnostic to any particular technology, sector, law, or jurisdiction.
