The Privacy Rosetta Stone: How to Make Yourself Understood by the CISO and CIO?
Every privacy professional knows that ongoing adherence depends on a symbiotic relationship between the data privacy and data security teams. And for any relationship to flourish, there needs to be openness and mutual understanding — in essence, a common language.
Unfortunately though, this is not always the case between heads of privacy and their chief information officers and chief information security officers.
Join us for this engaging web conference discussion on how to speak the language of the CISO and the CIO. Hear real-life stories from inside privacy teams around the world and from businesses of all sizes on how they have learned — and why they have often failed — to communicate effectively with their security and information technology peers and what you can do to capitalize on their experiences.
What you’ll learn:
-
Why this language barrier exists, and why it’s dangerous.
-
The mistakes privacy teams frequently make that inadvertently raise the barrier even higher.
-
The areas where communication and cooperation are most important.
-
What your peers have done to successfully solve the problem, and what has not worked.

Where is the Tech?
The Value of Technology and Other Intangible Assets
The definition of a "tech" company has continued to evolve through the decades. The latest round of "tech" companies - Lyft, Uber, Airbnb and WeWork - have blurred the line between technology and other industries. So where is the technology in these companies, what other intangibles assets do they have, and how much are these assets worth?
This case study will introduce the audience to the process of analyzing intangible assets and how they affect the value of the company, with a focus on the technology firms throughout the years. At the end of the presentation, the audience will learn the following:
-
What are the typical components of a company’s intangible assets?
-
What makes each asset valuable?
-
How does each asset contribute to the company’s value?
-
And finally, how has technology firms changed through the years?
