GDPR - It’s Not Just for Europe: Protection of Data at the World Cup in Russia, Tokyo Olympics, and Beyond

Mon, 04/30/2018
With the World Cup in Russia this summer and the Olympics in Tokyo in 2020 further down the line; organizations conducting business around the event will face unprecedented challenges with cybersecurity and data protection. With the rise in data breaches in recent times, it might not be too strong to say that the success of these major international events relies upon the whole country being data security conscious. Everything from local hotels to travel agents and tour operators will process increasingly large quantities of customer data, including credit card details, making them ripe targets for cybercriminals. This personally identifiable data (PII) will include EU citizen data and so will need to be protected as per the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
