SECURING OUR DATA

Posted on: 21/11/2018

Executive TV are happy to announce Secure Solutions, the latest program in our series Digitizing The Public Sector. This program looks at the changing security landscape and the ways that our public services can take better care of our private data.

Over the past few years there has hardly been a week without a major data scandal. From the recent British Airways breach to last year’s Cambridge Analytica revelations; we are constantly hearing about our data being misused. Security has hugely risen up the national agenda. Today we expect everyone we work with to handle data securely, especially the public sector who hold health, courts and security data.

In this program we will be discussing how public organisations can protect our data throughout it’s lifespan, from when it’s capture to it’s storage and finally it’s destruction. To discuss these issues we’ve brought together three subject matter experts. Sword IT have worked with many organisations in the public sector, advising them on how to correctly handle data. BeCrypt offer a truly secure platform aimed at government and security organisations. Finally, Blackmore Ricotech, are the UK’s leading experts in secure data destruction, ensuring every data bearing component of a system is properly wiped.

Secure Solutions will be first broadcast on our usual channel, Propeller TV (Sky 185) on Sunday 25th of November at 10.30am, and repeated on Sunday 16th of December at 10.30am. After the initial broadcast the program will be available online at www.executivetv.org with the rest of our digital archive.
