Navigating the complexities of regulated data sharing has never been more critical. Integral's latest post (featuring insights from Karlsgate) takes a deep dive into how Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) are transforming data collaboration in regulated industries. Learn how companies are balancing innovation and compliance by adopting cutting-edge solutions that protect data without sacrificing utility. 🔗 Read more on Karlsgate's blog: https://lnkd.in/gCwThAkR Thanks to Integral for partnering with us on this insightful piece. #DataPrivacy #PETs #DataCompliance #Innovation #DataSharing

We’ve all seen the headlines. Data breaches are rampant and increasingly common. Impacted organizations often believed they had their data securely locked down with every possible protection in place. So, what went wrong?  The answer is simple: they handed over the keys to their data.    Even with multiple layers of defenses and compliance with regulations like HIPAA and GDPR, “locked down” data can still be breached. To effectively collaborate, many organizations make exceptions that put the keys to their sensitive data in the hands of others. (These “keys” come in many forms – think business associate agreements, data clean rooms, cloud data sharing services, etc.) The common theme is that organizations make exceptions to their “lock down” rules, relinquish control of their sensitive data, and send copies of it outside their secure firewalls. Instead of handing over the keys, what if we ensured our data was truly protected? Consider this analogy: If you’re safeguarding something valuable, you might lock it in a room and build walls around it to keep it secure. But if someone mishandles keys to all those locks, your walls won’t matter. Instead, what if you could change what’s inside, so even if bad actors get in, what they find is worthless? The same principle applies to data. Instead of handing over access to our data and hoping for the best, we can transform it, ensuring it’s protected at rest, in transit, and in use. “Exceptions” should no longer be the path to meeting business needs. True security can be realized using a Privacy Enhancing Technology that enables comprehensive data protection to combat breaches. That’s what we do at Karlsgate. With protective transformation, secure in-place joins, and downstream data flow protection, organizations can protect sensitive information while offering a clean, safe, and efficient way to retain the use of valuable knowledge.  Don’t lock down data. Actively guard it with Karlsgate. 

Great post from the Federal Trade Commission, clarifying some misconceptions around techniques to anonymize data. These only highlight why many companies need a privacy technology upgrade away from persistent, universal identifiers like hashing. https://lnkd.in/e6PW3vkc

The upcoming privacy act in Australia is poised to significantly impact current marketing and advertising practices. This is a positive step towards protecting consumer privacy, but it also raises questions about the balance between convenience and control. The challenge lies in finding a solution that respects our privacy while retaining the benefits of a data-driven world. Learn more in our latest blog post.

When it comes to innovation, it’s the truly *practical* technological advances that stick around. It’s the sweet spot of "better" and "useable." History is littered with impractical or cumbersome new product ideas. There are 2 boxes you need to check: [ ] Easy and [ ] Does-the-Job. Taking complex engineering challenges and building rock-solid, dead-simple solutions has been a passion of mine since I was in college. Looking back at some of my old design sketches makes me chuckle now, but I see the same desire in what I was thinking at the time. Data privacy is quite a tricky problem domain. You cannot go straight for simplistic if it doesn’t guarantee safety. And if it only addresses a narrow set of use cases, then it misses the point. Sometimes it takes a complete rethinking of the approach to achieve your goals. It’s never been a better time to start deploying truly practical Privacy Enhancing Technology to respect privacy rights, improve compliance to evolving regulations, and reduce cybersecurity risks.

The latest #MOVEit vulnerability has once again exposed critical gaps in today's data security practices. While many organizations are sharing data compliantly, they are not doing so safely. Traditional data sharing and collaboration tools often fall short in safeguarding sensitive information, but Karlsgate offers an innovative solution that goes beyond simple compliance to truly protect sensitive data without sacrificing utility.

Cyberattacks often target data assets stored between steps of a complex workflow. Any output that gets stored could be compromised before handing off to the next step. Karlsgate has added new protections to securely bind the steps of a workflow together. Downstream Data Flow Protection (DDFP) encrypts all output to be readable only by the subsequent step or process -- strongly linking processes and preventing data-at-rest vulnerabilities. Perfect to use in tandem with confidential computing as well. #dataprotection #cybersecurity #automation
