Threatpost podcast talks with Exabeam chief security strategist Steve Moore about the security and privacy implications of exposure notification apps. Moore says CISOs are mulling applications that utilize exposure notifications in order to track COVID-19 s spread in the office. Moore said he is already hearing from CISOs who have been looking at these types of applications. However, with data privacy issues and HIPPA laws tangled up in contact-tracing technology, workplaces looking to institute these exposure notification applications face a slew of challenges. Moore: People don’t trust contact tracking apps in general, as seen in the low adoption rates of various applications worldwide.
