‘Privacy by Design’ with Ʒ’s lead security engineer

August 3, 2016 Kevin Acocella

For the most recent edition of Mozilla’s excellent series of SF events, guest host wanted to try something different. She wanted to turn the Lab’s lens to the world of K-12 education for a change – particularly the way that education technology companies build data privacy protections into their products.

The July Privacy Labs event would be called ‘,’ and would host famed IT security and privacy advocate , iKeepSafe policy expert and Ʒ’s own lead security engineer .

Alex’s talk was an interesting primer on how to design products with privacy in mind from day one. He argued that by putting privacy on equal footing with core design considerations like usability, far better outcomes can be achieved, with fewer compromises, than processes that make privacy and security the last stop in the creation of new products.

Alex’s examples of Ʒ’s ‘privacy by design’ approach in action included early-education secure login service and a recent classroom security feature called Instant Login Assist.
