Sun Microsystems Hosts Panel Discussion on Privacy and the 'Network of You': Privacy Experts from the State of California, Sun, Intuit, Agilent
a
MENLO PARK, Calif. (Business Wire EON) December 12, 2007 -- The panelists shared their perspectives on the challenges and potential solutions to protect individual privacy in an age in which more and more personal information is moving onto the Internet, ranging from financial data to health records to family photos.
Acting as moderator, Dr. Moira Gunn raised several hot-button issues, including the role of companies in protecting their employees' and their customers' privacy, the impact of existing legislation and need for standardized regulations, and how social networking sites have increased privacy risks, particularly for young people. In addition, the panelists discussed global implications for privacy with regard to cultural differences, offshoring and outsourcing, harmonization of identity standards, and the importance of education, processes, and technology to safeguard privacy.
By and large the panelists agreed that protecting privacy is an inevitable challenge in a free society. "Secrecy is different from privacy, which is a managed asset," noted Michelle Dennedy, Chief Privacy Officer, Sun Microsystems. "We must expand the way we think about privacy and talk about personal information management. As we continue to develop our laws, knowledge, and technologies in the Network of You, there's a greater need to allow individuals more calibrated controls over their personal privacy."
