On this episode of Priority Queue, which is sponsored today by Cisco, we tackle the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR.
This new regulation lays out data privacy and protection obligations for organizations that handle data of EU citizens, including loss prevention, breach notification requirements, and serious fines and penalties for violations.
We delve into GDPR requirements with Equilibrium Security and ePlus/IGX Global, two Cisco partners who share practical insight and advice for dealing with GDPR.
Our guests are Anish Chauhan, Director at Equilibrium Security; and Alex Goldstein, Security Architect at ePlus/IGX Global.
We’ll discuss how to break down and understand requirements, the importance of a risk assessment and gap analysis, and how to use security and management tools to comply with the regulations.
