Cybersecurity isn’t just about data privacy, and data privacy isn’t just about cybersecurity. Data privacy is about the permissible uses and misuses of information about individuals, regardless of whether a hack is involved. Cybersecurity, in contrast, is about unauthorized or malicious misuses of technology, regardless of whether an individual’s data is involved.
That said, there’s a place where these domains intersect—personal data hacks. These hacks are serious business. They can doom an M&A deal or saddle companies with huge liability—particularly when the European Union begins imposing fines of up to 4 percent of global company turnover.
