Chief Privacy Officer Panel Discussion: Privacy and the Network of You
 More than 50 representatives from the technology industry, policy organizations and the press turned out for a panel discussion hosted by Sun Microsystems on privacy in the participatory web era that Sun refers to as the Network of You. The panelists shared their perspectives on the challenges and potential solutions to protect individual privacy in an age in which more and more personal information is moving onto the Internet, ranging from financial data to health records to family photos. Moderator Dr. Moira Gunn raised several hot-button issues, including the role of companies in protecting their employees' and their customers' privacy, the impact of existing legislation and need for standardized regulations, and how social networking sites have increased privacy risks, particularly for young people. In addition, the panelists discussed global implications for privacy with regard to cultural differences, offshoring and outsourcing, harmonization of identity standards, and the importance of education, processes, and technology to safeguard privacy.
