The director of the Privacy and Digital Transformation Chair, Microsoft-Universitat de València, Ricard Martínez M., participated in the first day of the Cybersecurity Week Conference 2022 held in Santiago, Chile, on June 20th, 2022. 

On the occasion, he shared in the conversation Data Protection in LATAM and How We Accelerate the Pace in Organisations with data protection experts and academics Jessica Matus, Miriam Padilla and the academic from the University of Santiago of Chile, Leocadio Marerro, an expert in cybersecurity.
