EPISODE 53: Whose Responsibility Is It To Protect The Data? The Data Team Or The Cybersecurity Team?

The data landscape is changing faster than ever, and with it, the security threats - so whose responsibility is it to make sure your data is safe? Is it the data team? Or is it the cyber team? We tackle this question and more with Head of Data at AND Digital, Tim Hatton. From leveraging AI to secure data to the importance of real user testing, to how Tim threat models his client’s data capability, you won’t want to skip this ever-important topic! We also talk about ‘data mesh’ and if you’re not familiar with that term - it’s a data management framework that decentralises data ownership and responsibility to the teams that use the data. The idea is to make data more accessible and available to business users by directly connecting data owners, data producers, and data consumers. So you can see why we thought that was an important topic to cover because, with this model, comes a lot of trust in others doing the right thing when it comes to data security! So you won’t want to ‘mesh it up’ if people are following this framework in your organisation.

Dive into “Compromising Positions”, the unique, new podcast designed to iron out the wrinkles in the relationship between cybersecurity teams and other tech professionals. We’re taking the ‘security as a blocker’ stereotype head-on, promoting a shared language and mutual understanding. We’ll turn those ‘compromising positions’ into ‘compromising solutions’, helping security pros and tech teams collaborate more effectively for a smoother, safer digital journey. Every week we will be joined by Developers, User Researchers, Designers, Product Owners, Data Scientists, Cloud Specialists, Scrum Masters, C-Suite Execs, AI/MI boffins, and many, many more non-security positions! This is a podcast aim to get you thinking about security without boring you to death! Join our two hosts, Lianne Potter, Cyber Anthropologist and Head of Security Operations at a major retailer and Jeff Watkins, CTO at XDesign for this informal, frank, and at times anarchic look at what people really think about cybersecurity in organisations and what cybersecurity people should ACTUALLY be doing.
