Transcend is heading to this year’s Black Hat USA in Las Vegas from August 3-8. We're excited to learn from security leaders what’s top of mind when it comes to privacy and security, at a time when the two disciplines are converging more and more.

Since day one, as a data privacy vendor with deep systems access, we’ve been committed to building trustless architectures—so there’s no need to trade horses between functionality and breach risk. But in our recent conversations with buyers, we’re seeing a convergence of privacy and security more than ever before.

Enterprises are juggling the demands of both privacy and security, as high-profile breach incidents continue to make headlines, privacy legislation continues to pass across the globe, and company leaders are urged to leverage artificial intelligence quickly, but in a responsible manner.

In a recent Market Share report, IDC Research Director Ryan O’Leary noted that 68% of organizations' privacy policies and initiatives are driven by the CISO.*

“Cybersecurity has started to fully merge with privacy. The two practice areas have always been overlapping, but CISOs are starting to become major drivers of privacy purchases…This will only continue as AI deployments continue to threaten privacy within enterprise.”

At this year’s Black Hat USA, we’ll be looking to speak with security leaders about what they’re seeing internally, as well as share what we’re seeing on how successful privacy outcomes can also support security KPIs.
