When handling personal data, organizations must utilize both best practices for privacy and cybersecurity to ensure that it is protected, sound, and treated in line with individual and societal expectations.
FPF’s work on privacy and cybersecurity focuses on the overlap between the two areas, including how different global laws and policy regimes tackle that overlap. Through FPF’s Privacy and Cybersecurity Expert Group, FPF facilitates the coordination and collaboration of privacy and cybersecurity experts to promote common goals, strategies, and understanding.

Advisory committee members include:
- Emily Hancock, Cloudflare
- Stephenie Handler, Gibson Dunn (Chair)
- David Hoffman, Duke University, Sanford School of Public Policy
- Anitha Ibrahim, Amazon Web Services
- Andy Serwin, DLA Piper
- Chad Sniffen, National Network to End Domestic Violence
