Episode Synopsis "#3 - Humanitarian Data - part two"

In episode #3 of Hear, HERE!, Balthasar Staehelin, then-Director of Digital Transformation and Data at ICRC, talks humanitarian data with HERE’s Val Hambye-Verbrugghen.A cyberattack on ICRC systems in early 2022 led to half a million people’s data being breached, spotlighting the sector’s vulnerabilities. Risk management of similar incidents is not just a question of ramping up one’s cybersecurity by strengthening systems: there also needs to be discussion around international organisations’ data collection practices at large. The second of a two-parter, this episode specifically focuses on the role of data subjects within these processes. What is the difference between personal and biometric data, and how do organisations account for it? Do data subjects have the space to refuse collection of their information when it is being collected for aid purposes? How do you mitigate risk?HERE is an independent, Geneva-based non-profit organization.
