LSEC - Leaders in Security

On Friday January 27th, LSEC organizes a day on data privacy and data protection. Part of the CPDP 2012 Conference, this day will focus on the implications and practical experiences of data protection in Belgium and Europe.

Data Protection in evolution : Coming of Age

During that day, the discussions will be slightly more focused on some of the practical implementations of the various applicable legislations and challenges by companies, organizations and government in applying them. Besides, the perspective will open up to the point when beyond the compliance to data protection regulations, there is also the aspect of protecting data (including private information) from intended or unintended misuse. During these sessions, we will also focus on some of the potential ways to deal with regulations from an operational perspective by presenting some methodologies, solutions and technologies and also their current challenges.
Finally the day will close with some views and discussions on how to practically deal with upcoming legislations, data leakage challenges and policy requirements by means of some innovative approaches, processes and technologies.

About the CPDP 2012 Conference

The CPDP (Computers, Privacy and Data Protection) conference is neither a purely academic conference nor a business or activist conference. It is a privacy stakeholder conference set up by five academic institutes with the aim to bring together academics, practitioners, policy-makers and civil society so they can meet, exchange ideas and discuss emerging issues of information technology, privacy, data protection and law.

CPDP is organised by the following institutions: Vrije Universiteit Brussel, the Université de Namur, the Universiteit van Tilburg, the Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique and the Fraunhofer Institut für System und Innovationsforschung.

CPDP has progressively been growing since its inception both in terms of speakers, participants and panels and the ambition for its upcoming fifth consecutive edition is higher than ever. Last year’s conference welcomed more than 400 participants, including 180 speakers from all over the world. Its artistic and public side events such as the privacy party, two public debates, film screening and Pecha Kucha evening attracted an additional 800 people. Determined to exceed the positive feedbacks received from speakers and participants from the last years, which range from “excellent” to “brilliant agenda keeping”, this year’s conference offers twelve panels, a pre-conference, several academic and cultural side events and a PhD-evening.

The regular panels include both the presentation of stakeholders’ agenda and intense debates around key issues in the field of privacy, data protection, technology and society. In addition, specific sessions will be dedicated to the issues of ICT and aging, surveillance and law-enforcement and eDiscovery
