Resume Privacy 101 - Sharing Your CV Securely
You secure your code repositories with authentication. You encrypt sensitive data in transit. You follow the principle of least privilege in your infrastructure. Yet when it comes to your resume - a document containing your name, contact information, employment history, and professional network - many tech professionals upload it to public job boards without a second thought. This disconnect between professional security practices and personal data protection is a gap worth closing.
In 2026, your resume is more than a career document. It's a data asset that can be scraped by AI systems, harvested by data brokers, weaponized for phishing, or used to track your job search without your knowledge. Understanding resume privacy isn't paranoia; it's applying the same security mindset you use at work to your career data.
