Abstract

This lecture will bridge the sphere of privacy advocacy and its practical 
implementation in a networked, global and corporate world. Stephanie 
Perrin, Chief Privacy Officer of Zero-Knowledge Systems, will discuss the 
fundamental threat to privacy in a world that has said ‘yes’ to 
surveillance. She will then  provide the audience with a first hand account 
of the pragmatics of being a CPO, and will discuss some of the problems 
CPOs face daily. Stephanie will finalize by describing her work on 
international standards, and the common privacy problems that are being 
felt worldwide.
