Employees are invited to bring their lunch and attend a free Technological and Cultural Shifts in the Workplace and the Emerging Privacy Threat session in recognition of International Data Privacy Day.

In this session hosted by the Information Technology Services’ Information Security and Privacy Office (ISPO), you will learn how the government landscape is shifting technologically as digital demands increase and culturally as young workers take over the reins from an aging workforce. All of this impacts the business of government.

Data Privacy Day is an international effort to empower and educate people to protect their privacy and control their digital footprint. It is led by the National Cyber Security Alliance, a nonprofit, public-private partnership dedicated to cybersecurity education and awareness.
