About the course
One of the biggest drivers of our complex global economy is the sheer amount of data generated and collected every day. As the amount of data continues to increase, companies are investing in a myriad of technology data warehouses to collect, store, manage and analyze the data within their organization. Savvy analytics can provide powerful insight into a company’s customer base and company performance, enabling them to anticipate needs, customize products and adjust to market forces in real time. As a result, big data creates big competitive advantage. However, big data also creates a level of risk and liability. Safeguarding data often lies within IT, or Legal or Compliance departments, but internal and external threats make data privacy and security a critical priority for all managers. This program addresses privacy and security strategy considerations and implications that everyone needs to know.
