Villers believes that threat intelligence is mandatory for ensuring long-term security, and that organizations should invest in data loss prevention solutions, as well as finding a way to tackle the insider threat.

“Introducing artificial intelligence into cybersecurity is a good way to handle time-consuming, low value-added tasks. It will require a training / development / improvement period, but it will certainly help cybersecurity specialists focus on more decision-making tasks and making the right decision in a timely manner,” Raymond adds.

“Companies no longer have the means to protect everything, so it’s essential for them to invest in detection technologies in order to obtain the right information and the source of the information. This implies even more data to process and, thus, the implementation of technologies based on data analytics and machine learning, such as behavioural analysis.”

On Tuesday 11 October 2016, Luxembourg’s National Commission for Data Protection (CNPD) and the Service for Media and Communication (SMC) held a conference on the main changes stemming from new data protection regulation.

The conference marked the start of a series of events especially designed in the framework of the Digital Lëtzebuerg initiative with the aim of presenting the new regulation to those concerned and guiding them in its implementation.

More than 500 people attended the conference at the Maison du Savoir at Esch-Belval, where the Prime Minister and Minister of Media and Communication, Xavier Bettel, discussed the challenges and opportunities provided by the new European regulation for Luxembourg. PM Bettel referred to it as “an adaptation to a new world, a world where technological innovation allows for important advances while also guaranteeing the respect of our fundamental principles.”

These new laws, which replace the 1995 directive of the same nature, will be directly applicable in all Member states of the European Union from 25 May 2018. The new regulation aims to give citizens more control over their personal data, give more responsibility to businesses whilst reducing their administrative costs, and also reinforcing the role of data protection authorities like CNPD.
