From OSHA to HIPAA, as we gain traction on returning to in-person work, governing bodies are clamoring to identify the legality of collecting and storing all this data. What can we use it for, and when is health data storage infringing on human rights? This session will deep dive into the impact the last year has had on health data and implications in how this data can legally be used moving forward.

Facial recognition is used by law enforcement surveillance, airport passenger screening, and employment and housing decisions. Despite widespread adoption, face recognition was recently banned for use by police and local agencies in several cities, including large cities after whistleblowers uncovered inherent bias within these algorithms. Our experts in this fascinating session will discuss the implications of this embedded bias, how they uncovered it, and the ethics behind the use of this technology.

As countries around the world develop and others tighten already existing privacy guidelines, in-house counsel will need to quickly adapt and be clear on how all that activity impacts their particular business. In this session, the panel will discuss the most important data privacy regulations regulations and initiatives.

In this session, we will look at how companies have been addressing the impact of various states’ data privacy laws, including CCPA and CPRA.

This session will give you insight into keeping pace with emerging state data privacy regulations.

These laws will have profound implications on how companies, including law firms, do business and communicate with their customers moving forward.

In this session, our data scientists and privacy experts will share emerging solutions for extracting and protecting private information throughout the discovery process.

Join us as a panel of experienced attorneys and data privacy/data protection experts provide a roadmap for addressing these issues. We’ll examine recent developments, including California voters’ approval in November of the California Privacy Rights Act, recent case law, the latest actions by the Federal Trade Commission, and domestic and international obligations as we approach the third anniversary of the effective date of Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation.

Everyone needs to be concerned with cyber-attacks, these days. It’s a myth that only large organizations need to be concerned about hackers trying to get their information.

All it takes is one employee clicking on the wrong link in an email, and the hundreds of thousands of dollars you spend on your security infrastructure are useless. So to sit back and rely on your IT department with the expectation that nothing will ever go wrong is a risky proposition. Issues related to data privacy and cybersecurity are not limited to large organizations. In fact, depending on what reports you read, anywhere from 40% to 60% of cyber-attacks specifically target small to medium-sized businesses, and upwards of 70% of small businesses have experienced some form of cyberattack in the last year. The smaller the business, the fewer the resources it will typically have to spend on cybersecurity. If you think a good cybersecurity plan and infrastructure is too expensive, wait until you find out how much it costs not to have one.
