  • Privacy needs where you least expect it. [CISO Perspectives]

    Privacy needs where you least expect it. [CISO Perspectives]
    Nov 4 2025
    When discussing privacy risks, many often look to implementing strong encryption, secure data storage practices, and data sanitization processes to help ensure sensitive information remains protected. Though these practices are good and should be prioritized, many often miss other key areas that need just as much focus. As the internet of things has only continued to grow larger and larger, so has the risk these devices inherently create as they collect and store more information than many would instinctively assume. In this episode of CISO Perspectives, host ⁠Kim Jones⁠ sits down with Merry Marwig, the Vice President of Global Communications & Advocacy at Privacy4Cars, to explore how privacy risks are in places many do not think to look. Together, Merry and Kim discuss why security leaders need to rethink how they approach privacy and consider how the devices we use every day could inadvertently expose our sensitive information. This episode of N2K Pro's CISO Perspectives podcast is brought to you by our sponsor, Meter.
