Discover the stories of those protecting your data. Welcome to 'Behind the firewall,' where we share the human side of data protection. 👫 "My career in data protection began with a lifelong interest in the digital world. Although I initially trained as a lawyer, it was my fascination with computers and the internet that truly shaped my path. The digital realm has always seemed like a parallel universe to me, impacting our everyday interactions, influencing governments, and global power balances. The real eye-opener was witnessing the power wielded by tech giants across decades. Events such as the Cambridge Analytica scandal and the Stuxnet attack also demonstrated just how much influence data has—how it can be used to control aspects of national security and sway public opinion on a massive scale. That’s when I realised that data isn't just bits and bytes; it’s power. Driven by these insights, I decided to further my studies and completed two master's degrees in cybersecurity, where I learned about the technical components of data security as well as data protection frameworks like the GDPR, Turkish data protection law, and other major international frameworks. I was fascinated by how these regulations aim to impose order on the 'wild west' of data flows. Data protection is incredibly important because it protects our human rights. It's not just about privacy; it’s about controlling how much power we give to corporations and governments. Just look at places like China to see how far it can go. In the coming year, my focus will be on the complex relationship between AI and data protection, particularly concerning deepfake technologies. I will be advocating for clearer regulations and guidelines for AI-generated content. This includes pushing for policies that not only demand transparency from content creators but also hold platforms accountable for the circulation of harmful deepfakes. I wouldn't say I'm worried about the future of data protection, but vigilant and proactive. I see the evolution of data protection as part of a natural cycle of challenges and solutions. While each wave of technological advancement introduces new complexities, it also presents opportunities to innovate and strengthen our approaches to privacy and security. My message to everyone is to take ownership and responsibility for what you hold, to whom you give it, for what worth, and determine if it is really necessary.” - Yagmur Sahin, Information Governance & Data Protection Manager at Data Privacy Simplified Limited
