CEO Michelle Dennedy Weighs In on Twitter Whistleblower

by Michelle Dennedy

From Decipher:

The idea that you can’t protect what you don't know you have is axiomatic in security and it applies not just to devices, but to the information an organization collects and stores. Knowing where user and customer data is, what it's used for and who can get to it and why are all difficult things to address.

"It’s not a tech problem, it’s a hard thing to overcome years of neglect. We’ve underestimated and underinvested in privacy for decades because privacy is just air and no one wants to invest in air," said Michelle Finneran Dennedy, co-founder of Privacy Code and co-author of The Privacy Engineer's Manifesto.

"Privacy is contextual and time based, it’s storytelling. If you haven’t built data intentionality and data flows, you get that answer that we don't know where things are."
