Data Privacy vs. Cybersecurity: Where Do They Intersect?

Ever feel numb when you hear about yet another data breach?

You're not alone.

In this episode of Cyber After Hours—Data Privacy vs. Cybersecurity: Where Do They Intersect?—Evan and Paul welcome Steve Ward, a seasoned cybersecurity leader turned venture capitalist, for an insightful (and surprisingly humorous) conversation on privacy, security, and why consumers barely blink at breaches these days.

From diving into Steve's impressive career navigating the tricky venture capital waters, to exploring why cybersecurity often feels like Groundhog Day, the trio discusses how the constant drumbeat of cyber threats has led to consumer indifference—and why this needs to change.

Steve sheds light on the blurry lines between data privacy and cybersecurity, highlighting why simply "checking the compliance box" isn't enough anymore.

Together, they unpack critical questions:

Are privacy regulations actually making a difference?

Can organizations move from visibility to meaningful risk reduction?

And why does innovation in security often lag behind the threats themselves?

Along the way, they chat about how AI is shaking things up, why data integrity might soon overshadow confidentiality, and how ransomware underscores the importance of availability (because what's privacy worth if your data’s locked away?).

Whether you're a cybersecurity pro or just privacy-curious, join us for an entertaining, eye-opening discussion on where security meets privacy—and why the future might be less about keeping secrets and more about building trustworthy communities.

Grab a drink, settle in, and tune in to Cyber After Hours—because talking about privacy and security shouldn’t put you to sleep.
