Privacy vs. Application Security: Can They Truly Coexist? | Kim Wuyts

Welcome to the Elephant in AppSec, the podcast to explore, challenge, and boldly face the AppSec Elephants in the room.

Today, my guest is Kim Wuyts, a leading privacy engineering expert with over 15 years of experience in security and privacy. Before joining PwC Belgium as Manager of Cyber & Privacy, Kim was a senior researcher at KU Leuven, where she led the development and extension of LINDDUN, a popular privacy threat modeling framework.

Kim is also a co-author of the Threat Modeling Manifesto, program co-chair of the International Workshop on Privacy Engineering (IWPE), and a member of ENISA’s working group on Data Protection Engineering. She is a frequent speaker at international privacy and security conferences, and what I truly love about Kim’s presentations is that she raises privacy issues in a fun, entertaining way that really sticks with the audience.

In this episode, we talk with Kim about how privacy used to be part of security because security professionals cared about data, how they now need to coexist, and what impact AI will have on privacy.

And there’s much more! This episode is perfect if you want to know what your car can collect about you, and where to get started in investing in your privacy engineering skills, so you don’t fall behind.
