Confidentiality has always been an essential factor in maintaining privacy and trust in this digital age. The invasion of privacy and data breaches have shown the vulnerabilities and the importance of privacy and confidentiality. The constantly changing world of technology has major implications for the future of confidentiality. In the following article, we will discuss some of the emerging trends and predictions that suggest what the future of confidentiality will look like.
Firstly, the use of metadata has become more prevalent in corporate and law enforcement surveillance. Metadata refers to the information, such as date, time and location that is logged whenever a device or a network connects to the internet. Due to the evolving nature of technology, and the vast amount and variety of metadata available, identifying an individual’s identity and behavior is becoming easier.
Secondly, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming an inte. AI can identify patterns in metadata, such as user habits and preferences. This technique can be vastly beneficial in several fields, including improving the patient experience in healthcare and enhancing public safety through identifying potential crime threats. However, some are concerned that AI technology could be used to violate individual rights and privacy.
Thirdly, biometrics is a growing trend in enhancing security through identifying individuals based on their unique traits, such as their fingerprints, iris or voice. Biometric information is highly personal and sensitive, which means it needs to be securely encrypted and stored. To address these concerns, several security protocols may be implemented to monitor the governance of biometric technology.
Although the growth of technology has brought various advantages to our lives, on the other hand, it has led to an increase in data breaches and privacy violations; the future of confidentiality is dependent on how we use technology in a responsible manner. The trends and predictions mentioned above may be promising, but we must still be vigilant in protecting our personal data and privacy, to avoid leaving ourselves vulnerable to cyber threats, data breaches, and cybercrimes.
