ABOUT EVENT

AfICTA organizes another edition of its e-Conference series with the theme “Data is the new Oil: The Good, the bad and the ugly”. In 2017 The Economist published a story titled “The world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil but data. There are legitimate concerns about how tech giants are exploiting what they know about us, but is it all that bad? The webinar touches on the concerns as well as benefits of companies having access to and using our personal data

Join us as we discuss the policies for regulating data from the perspectives of different regions in Africa, the impact COVID-19 has on the protection of personal information and how trust is essential to mitigating the risks posed by malicious and unintentional insider threats on personal data. We would also discuss the prevalent effects that the data privacy decisions of Big Tech companies have on the business model as well as the trickle-down effect it has on user's data protection with Facebook vs Apple as the case study. This amongst others would be fully addressed at the webinar.
