Effective Data Breach Prevention and Response: Practical Tips and Strategies
As the world becomes more digitally connected, the threat of cybercrime continues to alarm organizations across the globe. The number of cybersecurity breaches proliferated in volume and complexity as new and highly sophisticated attacks are launched to target sensitive business data. Thus, regulators are ramping up their efforts to put new laws focused on cybersecurity and data protection. Enforcement activities and legal penalties for individuals carrying out cyber hacks and cybersecurity breaches also continue to intensify.
To keep pace with the shifting landscape, businesses and practitioners must stay in the loop of the latest regulatory developments on data security laws. Moreover, they must create robust data protection programs to safeguard them against data breaches.
In this Webcast, data privacy professionals Nick Holland (Shoosmiths LLP) and Blair Dawson (McDonald Hopkins LLC) will discuss significant updates and issues in data protection. The speakers will also share the best approaches to data breach prevention and response to mitigate cyber incidents.
