Privacy, identity ‘impossible to protect’ say 74% of security pros

New precautions and regulations like GDPR may not be able to help protect online identities, according to a Black Hat survey which gathered data from 300 security professionals. 74% of cybersecurity professionals suggest that, even with “precautionary measures and new regulations such as GDPR,” online privacy may be a lost cause.

As part of the survey, the respondents also weighed in on Facebook use. Some 55% of security pros said they advised their internal users to reconsider how much data they shared on the social media platform.
