Security News > 2022 > February > In an arms race with criminals to protect our privacy, it's too early to admit defeat

The format is simple: we propose a motion, the arguments for the motion will run this Monday and Wednesday, and the arguments against on Tuesday and Thursday.

Security pro Dave Cartwright is our first contributor arguing AGAINST the motion.

We all know that cyber-criminals and the tech they use get better just as quickly as the mechanisms we use to defend the privacy of our data - which makes it difficult to enforce privacy.

To say we can't expect privacy is too close to admitting defeat.

We can't guarantee the privacy of your data equates to we can't be bothered.

"We can't guarantee the privacy of your data" equates to "We can't be bothered," or "It's too expensive and will hit the profits for the year" - both of which come in the category of "Not good enough."
