“GDPR and privacy: awareness and opportunities. Reasoned analysis of personal data protection between ethics and cybersecurity” is the title of my new book published yesterday by Goware.
The volume - with a preface by Giovanni Buttarelli (European Data Protection Supervisor - EDPS) - is available on Amazon both in digital version and paper or printed version.
It will soon also be available on other digital stores.
This is the abstract:
Today we increasingly hear about data protection: but what does it mean, what value do data have and why should they be protected? The book takes us on a journey through the new discipline introduced by EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) to help us understand its historical evolution, the ethical and legal principles that guide it and the obligations related to processing. Central is the theme of IT security, with specific reference to the most current communication methods introduced by the use of the Internet and the development of new tools that offer us connection possibilities through smartphones, email and social networks, posing, however, severe risks, especially for minors. The new technological frontiers (blockchain, IoT, big data, artificial intelligence, drones) are therefore examined, which require necessary awareness also for the purpose of a correct ethical approach to the theme. An impressive regulatory bibliography constitutes a useful guide for those who wish to deepen this fundamental theme of our time. The theme of awareness in the field of personal data protection is truly relevant. On this topic I refer to the post published a few days ago on this blog.
I can only wish you happy reading.
