You can’t have privacy without security, but you can have security without privacy.

Quote of the Week 38

"You can’t have privacy without security, but you can have security without privacy."
― Unknown  


Triggered by the use of the adage in a Data Protocol certification course on Privacy-Centered Security.

The statement is also included in this October 2007 presentation (slide #3).

See the 2021 "Data Privacy vs. Data Security" blog article for a discussion of similarities and differences between data security and data privacy:

"In short, data privacy and data security are, by no means, the same terms. Data privacy is about proper usage, collection, retention, deletion, and storage of data. Data security is policies, methods, and means to secure [personal] data. ... Data security is a prerequisite for data privacy."
