An increased number of data incidents and breaches, combined with the renewed interest of state, federal, and international regulatory and enforcement bodies have squarely put data privacy and security at the forefront of organizations’ minds in 2021. In-house attorneys, privacy and cybersecurity professionals must stay abreast of the latest laws, enforcement focus areas, and industry best practices to ensure that their privacy and security programs are designed to protect the data their organization acquires, maintains, and uses. This webinar series brings you the key perspectives and insights to do just that.

DOJ and FTC Keynote: Gain Insight into Federal Areas of Focus and Enforcement

While there is no single, comprehensive federal privacy statute on the books (yet), there are numerous federal laws governing how consumer data is acquired, maintained, and used; misrepresentations to consumers; and facilitation of fraud. Gain insight directly from the federal government as to the work it has been focused on, increased DOJ/FTC collaboration on FTCA enforcement, the role privacy concerns can play in antitrust enforcement, and more during this opening keynote discussion.

• Understand the legal authorities of the DOJ’s Office of Consumer Protection and FTC’s Division of Privacy and Identity Protection
• Gain insight into areas of focus, including work the government is doing to examine the privacy implications of new technologies like facial recognition, the Internet of Things (IoT), and mobile device tracking
• Examine recent enforcement cases, such as those settled with Google, Facebook, Twitter, Lifelock, Equifax, HTC, and Snapchat
• Learn where potential vulnerabilities or risks may remain, and what your organization might want to consider to strengthen your privacy program

Anticipating More Privacy Regulations and Enforcement in 2021 – Why You’re Exposed to Liability If You Don’t Really Know Your Organization’s Data

Like so many things that changed during the pandemic, individuals’ expectations of privacy and the regulatory appetite to enforce privacy laws, such as the GDPR, were minimal in 2020. That all began to change when California passed the CPRA (California Privacy Rights Act) in November, and many anticipate that 2021 will bring additional scrutiny, regulations, enforcement, and higher expectations of privacy programs. Virginia just passed its privacy law, at least two more states (Washington and New York) are likely to pass laws, and the European regulators and FTC – under the Biden Administration – are expected to be even more active. Whatever organizations did through 2020 needs to be reviewed; and for those organizations with privacy programs still in their in their infancy, the time to ramp up is now. Privacy programs must not be built around a certain law but should be designed to address everything across the enterprise – from HR to IT frameworks, from Marketing efforts to data collection and storage points – and more. This panel evaluates the current privacy and cybersecurity landscape, the importance of knowing your data, and how to streamline efforts and maintain cross-departmental collaboration to ensure your program’s success. 

• Examine the current regulatory and enforcement environment and gain insight as to what more is expected as the year goes on
• Explore what it really means to “know your data” and opportunities to automate processes, eliminate data silos, and help you get the information you need at your fingertips
• Consider data and privacy implications for an organizational restructure or before, during and after M&A
• Identify risks and vulnerabilities that must be addressed when managing an increasingly remote and distributed workforce due to the pandemic
• Recognize that you don’t need to have suffered a data incident or breach to suffer a GDPR or CPRA enforcement action
