In the past 5 years businesses felt the increasingly intricate data management rules (GDPR, CCPA, BIPA) pressed against an explosion in hacking and ransomware. Companies experience pressure from legislators, regulators, litigators, hackers, and their own customers’ growing privacy concerns. Now comes a flurry of legislative shifts, including passage of new omnibus privacy laws passed in California, Colorado, Virginia (and soon Utah), as well as bills addressing cybersecurity, and laws that govern specific data uses or activities, like capturing biometrics or geolocation data. Moves toward data localization cloud the international data picture. How do companies handle these changes at the same time as evolving cyber threats and increased public scrutiny for data-related activities?

This discussion will bring perspectives across private and public sectors to offer practical strategies to reduce these unavoidable compliance risks.

This event is part of Womble Bond Dickinson’s thought leadership series entitled “What the Tech? Decoding Friend or Foe in the Digital Age” which takes a closer look at the disruption technologies impacting almost every sector and the challenges and opportunities they present for today’s business leaders.
