Ann Cavoukian Fights For Your Right to Privacy

When it comes to privacy, Ann Cavoukian is a legend. She created Privacy by Design during her tenure as Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, which landed her in the upper echelon of cybersecurity peeps.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Ann Cavoukian defined online privacy as we think about it today. In just three days, she drafted Privacy by Design, a blueprint for consumer protection that has gone on to influence and be adopted by companies and governments worldwide.

In this episode, Dr. Cavoukian gives a guided tour of what Privacy by Design is and why everyone wins when you have control over your own data. It’s a must-listen episode not only because she’s an OG cybersecurity person—her family’s journey from Armenia to Egypt to  Toronto is the stuff of biopics.
