Evolving Data Landscape: Rethinking the

Privacy-Security Dichotomy in A Data-Centric

World

By Ani Chaudhuri, CEO, Dasera

The EU-US Data Privacy Framework is a product of years of painstaking negotiation, a well-intended
attempt to tread the tightrope between national security and personal privacy. This balancing act, both
intricate and essential, echoes the broader complexities we grapple with in a hyperconnected, data-driven
world.

While the framework is laudable on many fronts - providing avenues for EU citizens to challenge
perceived infringements by US intelligence agencies and promising that data protections will 'travel with
the data' - it may be overly optimistic. A closer examination of the practicalities and underpinnings of this
pact raises more questions than it answers. Can we genuinely maintain privacy and security concurrently
in an increasingly digital world?
