    So Many Privacy Policies!

    Interesting news article about "big data" at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.  Big data has become quite the buzz word, and now "smart data" is starting to eclipse it (at least in some circles).

    Anyhow,an interesting tidbit about the need for consistent privacy policies/laws:

    Earlier this week in Munich, Viviane Reding, the European justice commissioner, repeatedly talked about data in respect to privacy. Ms. Reding said there were 27 laws that apply to data in Europe, most of which date back more than a decade and don’t properly protect consumers today.

    Ms. Reding outlined new regulations that were presented in Brussels on Wednesday and were designed to implement one sweeping data protection regulation that would apply to all of Europe.

    No different here in the States.  Each state has the right to have their own privacy laws.  However, once you try to start sharing data between those states, it becomes a nightmare determining who can see what.  

    So is anyone in the U.S. trying to accomplish a similar goal of a "one sweeping data protection regulation"?  Seems like it would be a stretch (especially to create one), but some consolidation/agreement is definitely needed.

  • Kevin Heald's Space

    I grew up as a techie and first got hooked using an old Texas Instruments programming in Basic ("Hello World" app is my fav) and then learned the fun of "integration" making my PCjr actually run the old Sierra games I wanted to play. After a lot of fun at college, I found myself entrenched in the government technology world leading projects and integrating systems for the past 11+ years. I have extensive experience in technical project management, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), Collaboration Technologies, Information Sharing, and Secure Systems Integration.
