ICO Technology Strategy
The ICO has announced their first ever technology strategy covering what they see as their roadmap for 2018 to 2021.
The report supports their Information Rights Strategic Plan 2017- 2021 and their plans to
‘Stay relevant, provide excellent public service and keep abreast of evolving technology’ .
In this technology strategy report, they have identified three priority areas that they will focus on:
- Priority area #1: Cybersecurity
- Priority area #2: Artificial intelligence, big data and machine learning
- Priority area #3: Web and cross-device tracking
It will be interesting to see how well this strategy keeps pace with the private sector; especially considering the budgets that private organisations are allocating to these trends.
As always let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
