Privacy engineering is an emerging field of engineering. What is the role of this profession, and how can companies benefit from their expertise?
Seasoned information security professional Aaron Walker explains the categories of privacy engineering include user experience, design infrastructure, software development, and privacy-enhancing technologies. PETs are tools and techniques that help companies and individuals control and protect their personal information — they can be used to encrypt data, anonymize individuals, and control access to information. Privacy engineers have various responsibilities, such as implementing systems that provide acceptable levels of privacy. Aaron advises that smaller organizations can integrate privacy engineers by educating existing engineers to build their system development lifecycle process.
