Innovative applications using cloud services and big data require data to flow freely across national borders. However, following the Snowden revelations and increased incidents of cyber-attacks, there has been a general trend in Europe to restrict the transit of data around the globe. This panel will share views on how the right balance can be struck between privacy and security considerations on the one hand, and securing the numerous benefits provided by innovative technologies on the other hand. As usual, the subsequent debate will allow you to voice your own perspective or concern under Chatham House rules.
