In the first part of this series, I explained what is DSAR and why the organizations should care about it. Now, let’s take a look at how the process can be perceived by the customers. Our recent GDPR benchmark research shows that the road can be tortuous.
Ok, so we all probably know why keeping all Infinity Stones in one place is a bad idea, right? You must now be wondering what the relationship between Infinity Stones and Talend could be. Worry not, Thanos isn’t coming and there is a reasonable explanation behind the MCU fandom references, I promise.
Today we open a new chapter at Talend, in which we begin our journey from a $250M company to a $1 billion cloud market leader. Over the last six years, I've been honored to help build and lead the team that brought Talend from a $50M startup, through its IPO in 2016 to become a quarter-billion-dollar company. Together, we built one of the fastest-growing cloud businesses in the world.
In December 2019 we released the second edition of our data privacy benchmark, and this year again, results are shocking: 18 months after GDPR came into force, 58% of surveyed companies are not performing with data privacy. The issue relates to the right of access, which gives individuals the right to obtain a copy of their personal data.
Data Privacy is becoming the main buzz word in technical circles day by day. Sometime back, we thought that illegal gathering personal identifiable information from data servers can happen only in James Bond and Mission Impossible movies. But technology is changing quite rapidly and in this era of global virtual connectivity, customer private information is becoming more and more insecure. The news of customer data getting misused by data analytics companies, data theft from major banks, etc.
In just a couple of days, the new year will be upon us and the California Customer Privacy Act (CCPA) will be in full effect. This means, going forward, businesses that collect personal data from people who reside in the Golden State must now honor their requests to access, delete, and opt out of sharing or selling their information.
We often come across people talking about managing their data by one means such as a Data Lake, MDM or data governance. Modern data management is not only about managing your data but also about making data useful for the business. Furthermore, data management is also about providing the ability to relate frequently used business terminologies to data in the systems. Most of the big enterprises spend months to discover and identify the impact of any change on their entire data supply chain.
“In god we trust, all others must bring data,” a line attributed to the American statistician, W. Edwards Deming, highlights the importance of statistical measurement and analysis in verifying facts and confirming their viability. However, as the volume of data grows exponentially, this becomes far more difficult with each passing month. While the fake news epidemic may be most noticeable on social media platforms, businesses face a similar challenge internally.
Nobody likes air travel during the holiday season, especially when it involves long queues at the airport security checkpoints or delayed departures thanks to unfavorable weather. Of course, once onboard, then you have to deal with a crying baby nearby or an eager conversationalist at your side. Oh, the agony!
Whether you stopped by to visit us in person at AWS re:Invent last week or you planned on it but didn’t get a chance, here are some of the most important key points and takeaways.
