In this episode… With unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) on the rise, privacy and security is often unregulated, and drone users outsource air traffic management to a third party. So, what systems can your company put in place to protect your data and mitigate drone misuse? As a licensed attorney and UAV specialist, Dawn Zoldi suggests implementing cybersecurity guidelines for drone hardware and operations. One way to accomplish this is to put a system in place that identifies faulty signals and seizes control over the aircraft to safely land it. With the proper constraints in place, you can effectively secure your data and connection. In today's episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels sit down with Dawn Zoldi, Founder and CEO of P3 Tech Consulting, to discuss drone regulations. She talks about the different types of drones and how each one collects data, the risks associated with outsourcing air traffic control to a third party, and how companies can implement cybersecurity solutions for drone control.
