The May 2018 deadline for compliance with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is receiving a lot of attention, and rightfully so. But regardless of where your organization stands with regard to its GDPR preparations, the work it puts into GDPR compliance will greatly improve the overall security and risk profile of the business going forward.

In fact, many of the GDPR requirements can be mapped directly to best practices for reducing your IT risk, including techniques and technologies designed to improve authentication, increase visibility with analytics, and make it easier to perform governance, risk and compliance (GRC) functions.

Join Chris Preimesberger, editor of features and analysis at eWeek, and Sean Michael Kerner, senior editor at eWeek, as they explore the ways GDPR will have a long-lasting impact on the way you think about security and compliance.
