For the blissfully unaware, ransomware is a type of cyberattack whereby the attacker encrypts the files on a victim’s machine or across the network and then demands a ransom before they will be decrypted and access is restored, or so they hope. Sometimes the hacker will even threaten to sell or disclose the stolen data unless a ransom is paid.
Today, we are launching the sixth version of our industry-renowned Data Privacy Periodic Table since its initial launch in September 2018.
Last year, we announced our top 8 data privacy influencers of 2019, who we believed anyone in the industry should be aware of to stay informed and updated with the latest thinking around privacy.
The initiative was a great success and it remains one of our most popular blogs. And as data privacy continues to be one of the most powerful and change-triggering conversations in the business world, especially as new laws and protections come into effect alongside new ways of working, we thought we should bring you a new list of the data privacy influencers who have already stamped their mark on 2020.
