Enabling the use of sensitive data – Differential Privacy in Data Science

This on-demand webinar first appeared at the Women in Analytics Virtual Summit, hosted on February 10th, 2021.

The advent of differential privacy changes how teams can work with and share sensitive data. However, many people are not familiar with this technique, and are looking to gain a basic understanding of how we can address both data utility and data privacy.  In this talk, Lipika presents an overview of differential privacy, with the following agenda:

• What does it mean to “Maintain Privacy”?
  
• The shortcomings of two common approaches to protect privacy
  
• The rise of Differential Privacy:  a new, rigorous approach to privacy
  
• A real world case study
  
• A call to action
