PANEL: How PETs Enhance Data Governance and Accountability, Helping Achieve Business Success

This session will detail best practices and considerations when developing, procuring, and deploying Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs). Proper governance, accountability mechanisms, and vendor management are all key to the responsible adoption of PETs, yet few companies have experience developing robust procedures for managing an inventory of PETs. The FTC has already opined in a blog about potential future enforcement actions where companies could mismanage PETs, particularly concerning multi-party computations. We hope to provide an in-depth discussion of PETs governance to spur the thoughtful adoption of in-house and third-party accountability procedures so that companies understand how to leverage these nascent technologies without risking further regulatory scrutiny.
