2025 Data Security and Privacy Summit

The current data security and privacy protection landscape is awash with tools, acronyms, buzzwords that promise to make data breaches and privacy incidents a thing of the past. Yet hotel chains, healthcare providers, banks, department stores and even governments constantly fall victim to data breaches, ransomware or nation-state attacks.

The plain truth is that tools are only as good as the people that use them and the processes that go with it. Two thousand years ago, the Roman empire had better military tools than the nations they conquered. Yet through time, the Romans fell to the barbarians and are merely remembered through their ruins. Likewise, companies with the latest and most buzzworthy technology implemented still manage to fall victim to attacks.

In this presentation, industry thought leader Ralph Villanueva will tap into over 15 years’ experience of data security and privacy protection to show why ultimately, the people behind the tools and the processes they use matter more in securing your organization’s data.

Key Takeaways:
- How to best deploy tools in the most cost-effective way to optimize benefits.
- How to best deploy tools to mitigate data security risks from internal and external threats.
- The importance of a balanced and holistic approach to data security that equally considers people, processes and technology.
