WHY IP ADDRESS TRUNCATION FAILS AT ANONYMIZATION

Truncated IP addresses are still personal data under GDPR, especially when combined with other information that most systems routinely collect. Subnet size doesn't correlate with user anonymity. The network prefix itself contains enough information for trivial identification. Many organizations are creating compliance risks by thinking IP truncation is GDPR-compliant anonymization. What is actually needed is encryption specifically designed for IP addresses.

Companies in the US are increasingly making the calculation that they can keep the size of their teams flat, or even shrink them, without harming their businesses. Part of this is the belief that artificial intelligence will be used to automate more processes, but companies are also hesitant to make moves in an uncertain economy. The widespread caution in hiring is frustrating job seekers and leading many employees within organizations to feel stuck in place. Operating with fewer people can pose risks for companies by straining existing staff or hurting efforts to develop future leaders.
