La CNIL adresse un questionnaire complémentaire à Google suite à ses réponses insuffisantes sur ses nouvelles règles de confidentialité

Dans ce cadre, la CNIL a adressé à Google, le 16 mars dernier, un questionnaire sur ces nouvelles règles. Google a fourni des réponses à l'ensemble des questions le 20 avril. La CNIL se félicite de la collaboration de Google sur cette question mais regrette que les réponses fournies par Google soient souvent incomplètes ou approximatives. Afin de pouvoir finaliser son analyse, la CNIL a donc adressé un questionnaire complémentaire le 22 mai, visant à préciser certaines questions qui avaient été initialement posées. Elle a par ailleurs reçu les représentants de Google le 23 mai lors d'une réunion à la CNIL. Concernant la combinaison des données entre services, la CNIL réitère ses inquiétudes sur la finalité et l'ampleur de ces combinaisons ainsi que sur leur base légale.

World Economic Forum - Global Risks 2012 - Seventh Edition

These are the findings of a survey of 469 experts and industry leaders, indicating a shift of concern from environmental risks to socioeconomic risks compared to a year ago. Respondents worry that further economic shocks and social upheaval could roll back the progress globalization has brought, and feel that the world’s institutions are ill-equipped to cope with today’s interconnected, rapidly evolving risks. The findings of the survey fed into an analysis of three major risk cases: Seeds of Dystopia; Unsafe Safeguards and the Dark Side of Connectivity. Global Risks 2012: The Dark Side of Connectivity. World Economic Forum warns of 'dark side' of connectivity. The World Economic Forum has warned about the "dark side" of connectivity, arguing that we understand the benefits of the internet better than we understand the risks, in a report identifying global risks for 2012.

World Economic Forum warns of 'dark side' of connectivity

The report -- Global Risks 2012 -- surveyed 469 experts and industry leaders, asking them to identify their risks for 2012 and beyond. It warns that economic imbalances and social inequality risk reversing the gains of globalisation. Respondents worry that further economic shocks and social upheaval could roll back the progress globalisation has brought and feel that the world's institutions are ill-equipped to cope with today's interconnected, rapidly evolving risks. The critical infrastructure that underpins our daily lives -- such as energy, transport, information and communications technologies -- increasingly depends on hyperconnected online systems.

The internet has transformed business, personal relationships and the popular uprisings, as we saw in the Arab Spring.

The Dark Side of Connectivity – Risks of the Information Centric World. - Sian John's Blog - Net Focus

This insightful piece highlighted many of the challenges that we all face daily in information security. Today we are hyperconnected in a way that has never been possible before. Information Technology underpins modern businesses and losing connectivity to the web can be catastrophic for a business in a way that could not have been envisioned just 10 years ago. This is only set to become more prevalent as the ubiquity of mobile devices and the connection of “smart” devices such as electricity and gas meters, televisions and fridges expand the impact and influence of wrong doing into the virtual world, and the overlap with the physical becomes more dominant. Protection is also not isolated. One of the most interesting elements in the report is the challenges around creating meaningful discussions on the risks of an interconnected world.
