Advancing organizational mandates with strong cyber security programmes
22 October 2019 | 9:00 a.m. – 12:45 p.m. | Henry Labouisse Hall | UNICEF House (3 UN Plaza)
October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month (U.S. Department of Homeland Security, ENISA in Europe and more widely). This has involved awareness events, hosted by UNICEF in 2017 and by UN Women in 2018, to raise awareness about the importance of cyber security, information protection and data privacy within the UN. A key message continues to be how to stay secure when digital business and the Internet touch most aspects of our personal and work lives.
This awareness event seeks to engage and increase user awareness among participants through interactive discussions and presentations on the challenges and opportunities that we all face in the digital world, both (externally) private sector and internally (UN Agencies).
This year’s event features a keynote speaker, Agency executives, programme and technology participants, a roundtable forum and small-group information sessions (kiosks) over the course of the morning. Topics include United Nations and private sector perspectives on information protection/data privacy, Privacy by Design, personal data and PPI, linking concepts and policies to good practices, as well as how information management affects and aligns to organizational mandates and delivery.
