In order to keep data secure, all members of the organization should be aware of how customer and client personal data is being used. If a company has data privacy at the forefront of its objectives, they are less likely to experience a security breach or cyber attack. Udacity’s Data Privacy Course offers all levels of professionals foundational modules in data privacy to:
1) Evaluate the data privacy risks associated with different types of data they collect, use, and share.
2) Ask critical questions about privacy issues from business, legal, and cultural aspects
3) Analyze the trade-offs of common privacy approaches such as aggregating or anonymizing personally identifiable information (PII) of their customers or employees.
Students leave the course with a holistic view of data privacy issues in business, a data privacy checklist for use in future projects, and industry-guided best practices that can be implemented in physical and virtual office environments.
