WASHINGTON, Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), a non-profit public-private partnership focused on helping all digital citizens stay safer and more secure online, and official coordinator of Data Privacy Day (DPD), is collaborating with many educational institutions, corporations, government and non-profit organizations across the world to make Data Privacy Day on January 28th a success. Data Privacy Day is an international day of awareness to educate everyone to respect privacy and safeguard personal information.

NCSA will host a Data Privacy Day forum on January 28th that will explore ways in which we build trust by protecting data and personal information in cyberspace. The forum will take place at the George Washington University Law School in Washington, DC from 8-11:30 a.m. ET. Federal Trade Commissioner Maureen Ohlhausen will keynote the event. Speakers include:
 

  • Erin Egan, chief privacy officer at Facebook
  • David Hoffman, director of security policy and global privacy officer at Intel
  • Brendon Lynch, chief privacy officer at Microsoft
  • JoAnn Stonier, chief privacy officer at MasterCard
  • Ari Schwartz, senior policy advisor, Office of the Secretary, U.S. Dept. of Commerce
  • Justin Brookman, director, Project on Consumer Privacy, Center for Democracy & Technology

Panelists will participate with other thought leaders from government, academia and industry, who will explore Data stewardship and privacy innovation as well as the implications for personal information in an on-demand mobile environment.

Intel has signed on as a platinum sponsor for the event along with AT&T, Facebook, Google and Microsoft serving as gold sponsors. MasterCard and The George Washington School of Law are silver sponsors and Reputation.com is a small business sponsor.

Keeping the Internet safe, secure and trusted requires investment in protecting personal information and educating about online responsibilities. NCSA and Data Privacy Day partners aim to help Internet users understand and control their online experience and online reputation. We also hope that there will be widespread participation in Data Privacy Day 2013 conversations and events around protecting data online. A list of DPD events can be found at: http://www.staysafeonline.org/data-privacy-day/events/

"Anyone can get involved in Data Privacy Day and help raise awareness about the importance of data privacy. We all share in the responsibility to make the Internet a safer place and this requires us to ensure adequate measures are taken to protect data and use personal information responsibly," said Michael Kaiser, executive director of the National Cyber Security Alliance. "We're excited about the growing support for Data Privacy Day 2013. If everyone takes some time on or around January 28th to educate customers, constituents, students and family members about privacy and data protection, we can instill the respect for privacy and security in all digital citizens."

The official Data Privacy Day theme is: Respecting Privacy, Safeguarding Data and Enabling Trust. Many unique celebrations leading up to Data Privacy Day 2013 and beyond are translating the theme into action. Data Privacy Day Champion EDUCAUSE – a nonprofit association and the foremost community of IT leaders and professionals committed to advancing higher education – has expanded Data Privacy Day into Data Privacy Month. In addition to numerous colleges offering on campus events, EDUCAUSE is offering free webinars. More information about EDUCAUSE's Data Privacy Month initiatives can be found at: http://www.educause.edu/dpm

"EDUCAUSE is thrilled to be a Data Privacy Day Champion and excited about expanding Data Privacy Day into Data Privacy Month for the second year in a row. Our aim is to help students, faculty, and staff on college campuses nationwide understand that data privacy is important to protecting their digital footprint and they need to exercise greater discretion over how their personal information is shared and managed online," said Rodney Petersen, managing director of the EDUCAUSE Washington Office.

A sample of events across the nation includes:

  • The Privacy Gap, Jan. 23, 2013
    The Churchill Club, Grand Hyatt San Francisco,  5:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m.,
    Consumers are living more of their lives online and exposing their personal information in new ways using the multitude of devices and services available to them. At the same time, consumers' understanding of how to protect their privacy—and their confidence in corporate privacy practices—remains low.  What can shift consumer privacy behaviors and perceptions to narrow this gap? This expert roundtable will examine the latest trends in privacy practices across the online industry. The forward-looking discussion will include a look at the world of apps, juxtaposing the need to provide consumers with privacy protections with the concern that overly stringent oversight could stifle innovation.  For more information, visit: http://bit.ly/VQMGtc
