NIST issues guidance on a mathematical approach to data privacy

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released new draft guidance on adopting differential privacy as part of security infrastructure.
The guidance aims to strike a balance between privacy and accuracy, allowing data to be released publicly without revealing individuals within the dataset.

Test Accounts: A Hidden Risk

Avoid testing in production to safeguard reputation, customer trust, and system integrity.
