Providing Open Access to Heterogeneous Information Resources without
Compromising Privacy and Data Confidentiality
ABSTRACT
Digital technologies and innovation can be a double-edged sword. Recognizing that cyberspace
is an integral component of all facets of national interests (including economy and defense),
increasingly nations are articulating their national cyber strategies and outlining efforts to
harden national cybersecurity and deter malicious actors from launching digital attacks. The
escalating cyber attacks can come from insider threats for data breaches or other malevolent
tactics by cyber criminals (such as ransomware, viruses, spyware, phishing, and other malicious
endeavors). There are other types of cyber attacks resulting from well-meant initiatives such as
open access or globally shared data, information, and knowledge. As cultural heritage
institutions embrace digital environments, they are facing unprecedented pressures to ensure
privacy and reduce the exposure of their institutions to all kinds of data-related risks. Thischapter briefly reviews the current status of data security and argues in favor of balancing the
open access aspirations of cultural heritage institutions with the need for privacy and data
confidentiality.Keywords: Data Confidentiality, Privacy, Data Protection, Open Access, Cybersecurity
