This special edition of The Privacy Advisor Podcast features a recap of the highlights from the IAPP's Privacy. Security. Risk. conference recently in San Diego. In this episode, the IAPP's Jed Bracy, Emily Leach, Angelique Carson and Sam Pfeifle gather around the mic, slightly sleep deprived and delusional, to discuss the highlights from PSR's key themes, including blockchain, the tension between needing a "tribe" and needing autonomy, and whether any of us could spend 20 years alone in the woods.

In this live recording taken at P.S.R. 2017, Angelique Carson and Jason Straight discuss lessons learned from the Equifax breach now that many of the facts have emerged. Straight takes the audience through what went wrong and when and how privacy professionals can avoid similar fallout should a breach occur at their own organization.

In this episode of The Privacy Advisor Podcast, host Angelique Carson talks to Justin Brookman, who's director of consumer privacy and technology policy at Consumer's Union, about why he made the jump from the Federal Trade Commission to CU. Brookman also discusses his work in helping the FTC establish its first technology office and whether that's been a differentiator for the agency's power as a regulator.

Just a quick little hello to tell you guys I'll be recording a live episode of the podcast next week in San Diego at the IAPP's P.S.R. event, and I want you to come!

In this episode of the podcast, Gilad Rosner, founder of the Internet of Things Privacy Forum discusses his work in bringing together academics, advocates, governments and regulators to solve the potential privacy problems presented by IoT-connected devices.

In this episode of The Privacy Advisor Podcast, Angelique Carson, CIPP/US, chats with Alexandra Ross, CIPP/E, CIPP/US, CIPM, CIPT, about incorporating some of her background in theater and her passion for yoga into her privacy practice; the theater experience helps her to be heard in effective ways, the yoga practice helps her stay mindful about the decisions she's making and who those decisions might impact. Ross is senior global privacy and data security counsel at Autodesk, a 3D design, engineering and entertainment software company. Ross says she's spending most of her time on GDPR these days, and feels one change the regulation will bring is a sort of "survival of the fittest" vendor race.

The news of the Equifax breach hits last Thursday afternoon, and it’s the Target breach on crack, right? In the days since, there have been all sorts of news stories coming out about the breach, but we decided it would be a good idea to do our first ever “special edition” podcast, where we could give you some insights on what happened in the Equifax breach and what threads we should tug on for the sake of our own edification as privacy professionals. In this podcast, Jason Straight of UnitedLex, who's helped companies handle breaches for the last decade, talks about Equifax's breach and what we should take from it.

This episode of the The Privacy Advisor Podcast features a return guest. Chris Zoladz owns Navigate, a consultancy. His podcast is the most listened to episode since we started this thing, with almost 1,900 listens at the time of this writing. Besides the fact that Chris is a likeable and smart guy, the reason for that is likely because his first podcast with us was about how to prep for the General Data Protection Regulation. He told us all about the ways companies were getting ahead, or, in many cases, falling behind, and where privacy professionals should get started. In this follow-up episode, Zoladz talks to host Angelique Carson on what he advises privacy professionals do if they're not ready for the GDPR, and they know it. Hint: It's not a bad idea to prioritize your regulator- and consumer-facing processes.

Rachel Tobac went to Defcon last year to play Social Engineering Capture the Flag. And she won. The game? In front of a live audience, call unsuspecting targets and get them to give up data about their company. The idea of the game is to educate: If you aren't careful, the information you publicly share could be used against you in nefarious ways. This year, Tobac went back to defend her title. Here's what happened.

Joseph Jerome is privacy counsel at the Center for Democracy and Technology. He's worked in Big Law, caps intentional, but he's found his home working at the CDT. He's passionate about privacy on a personal level, which makes his job sort of a perfect fit. Growing up in the corn fields of Iowa, he's got an appreciation for autonomy, and it's not something he's willing to let go without a fight. For both himself and the betterment of us all.
