Data privacy and cybersecurity issues have become mission-critical C-Suite issues because they directly affect a company's strategy, legal compliance obligations, financial health, and reputation. Data has become one of the most valuable assets for private and public sector organizations alike. The Internet, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, biometrics, and other transformative technologies employ powerful tools to collect, combine, analyze, use, store, and dispose of personal information. Questions abound regarding the responsibility that comes with the extraordinary power of data-driven generative AI. These rapidly changing data trends create a breathtaking range of compliance and liability issues, while raising the stakes for protecting such data in challenging risk environments, whether internal vulnerabilities or criminal cyberattacks or other threats. New laws and obligations are continually emerging from legislators, regulators, and the courts to address the corresponding privacy and cybersecurity implications. This annual program focuses on the latest developments, along with strategic approaches, to keep attorneys and other privacy and cybersecurity professionals up-to-date and ready to respond effectively in this complex and dynamic area.
