 AGENDA

A flurry of new state laws—including 13 comprehensive privacy laws and counting—has marked the beginning of another pivotal phase for the privacy world. Meanwhile, agencies at both federal and state levels have renewed their focus on high-risk processing activities, consumer choice, and protection of sensitive data. This evolving regulatory landscape—combined with growing opportunities in Artificial Intelligence and other digital technologies—urge companies to re-examine how they should approach privacy and security compliance in 2024 and beyond.

This compliance-driven event will highlight industry experience in coping with these challenges and explore strategies for staying ahead of the latest developments.

In an era of increasing cyber threats, companies must stay informed of the evolving legal landscape of cyber and data breach requirements.  While required windows of time within which to provide notifications are becoming shorter, the collection of government regulators and stakeholders to which notifications must be submitted continue to grow ever larger.  Just in the past year, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) all made significant strides in creating new breach notification rules for their respective covered entities, each with different criteria for when notifications must be made as well as different timetables for such notifications In this panel, experts will dissect the complexities of navigating the increasingly intricate patchwork of data breach notification requirements.  From understanding the aforementioned regulatory updates to exploring the art of timely and effective breach notifications, our panelists will provide practical insights and strategies to help legal professionals safeguard their clients’ interests.
