Please join Thomson Reuters and the Atlantic Council on Tuesday, September 26 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for the launch of our joint publication: "Big Data: A Twenty-First Century Arms Race" hosted by the City of London. The paper highlights, among other things, the current debate on the conflict between protecting privacy and security and discusses big data's role in tackling illicit financial flows.
 
Today’s threat environment is more fast-paced and complex than ever before. A range of bad actors use data as a vector of attack, leveraging it for ill intent. Fortunately, the explosion of data and our increasing ability to analyze big data from disparate sources provide the means to confront this dynamic and unpredictable security landscape. Using analytics and human expertise, intelligence and law enforcement agencies as well as global financial institutions can connect information from many sources to identify risk and gain awareness of threats. They must, however, balance the value of data with the privacy concerns of the public.
 
This event will examine how the big data revolution can help increase global security and will provide recommendations for maximizing opportunities while minimizing risks and building trust.
