Synopsis: 

When the NICE Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity (NICE Framework) was published as NIST Special Publication 800-181 in 2017, there was input from the community to include privacy education, training, and workforce as part of the responsibilities of the cybersecurity-related workforce. Since that time, the privacy profession has continued to mature and evolve in ways that demonstrate the overlap as well as distinctions between the roles of privacy and cybersecurity professionals. The NIST Privacy Engineering Program is now developing a Privacy Workforce Taxonomy aligned with the NIST Privacy Framework and modeled after the NICE Framework for interoperability. Additionally, the IAPP has been offering training and certifications for privacy professionals for several years. This webinar will feature plans for Data Privacy Week during the last week in January, showcase developments in the role of privacy professionals and the relationship to cybersecurity, and introduce the draft Task, Knowledge, and Skills Statements designed to create a common taxonomy and lexicon for the privacy profession.
