organisations<\/a> that have breached citizens\u2019 information have been sanctioned.<\/p>\nHe added that an absence of a compliance framework and law would compromise national security and have ripple effects globally.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo far, banks have been sanctioned, operators in our sector have been sanctioned, and many more of them are being investigated to ensure that we improve in level of compliance,\u201d Pantami said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition, if you look at it, the quantity of data that is being generated today, if there is no data privacy compliance in place, definitely it will compromise global security.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you have a mobile phone, you\u2019ll discover that with some applications, if care is not taken, the information the controllers of these gadgets have about you, you don\u2019t even know it. They know more about you than you know about yourselves.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor example, in three years, an application could remind you about all your movements, the images you have captured, who you have been with. Meanwhile, you have forgotten about it.<\/p>\n
\u201cDefinitely, they know us more than we know ourselves. All your activities are being recorded as long as you have one [mobile device] and carry it about. There is nothing like confidentiality or privacy, that is the reality.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith our situation today, local and international companies are illegally and secretly commercialising citizens\u2019 data without their knowledge.<\/p>\n
\u201cGo to ordinary Google and search something once or twice. From that day, you\u2019ll begin to have reminders and recommendations about whatever you had searched earlier. They know because they save that information from what you have searched before.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, it is because of this, without doubt, that we must ensure that we work together to ensure that whatever they collect about us, they have no power to either commercialise or submit to any place illegally, because if not, definitely our security, our privacy, and everything about us will be open.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pantami also expressed concern about the quantity of data being generated in the cyber space.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe quantity of data that is being generated is another issue that we should all be worried about,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you look at a research conducted by Google, they said from the dawn of civilisation, up to 2003 \u2014 20 years ago \u2014 the entire data collected globally was only 5 exabytes of data.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy implication, from dawn of civilisation to 2003, approximately 5,000 years, only 5 exabytes of data was generated. But today, according to the International Data Corporation (IDC), after every 24 hours, 2.5 exabytes of data is generated.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo by implication, the data being generated today within 48 hours can be equated to the quantity of data generated previously within 5,000 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccording to the IDC, by 2025, that is the next two years, with the invention of IOT devices, we could have about 41.6 billion IOT interconnected devices globally.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy implication, 46.1 billion is more than four times the world population, and these devices will generate data of 76.4 zettabytes.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd this is just by 2025. So, what do you think will happen to us if we don\u2019t have an institution to ensure the compliance to privacy laws?\u201d<\/p>\n
