“When You Get Hacked: What You Need to Know”
Monday, November 12th ∞ 8:30 AM - 10:30 AM
InterContinential - The City
Few scenarios test a company’s ability to navigate so many difficult issues than a data breach. This is because effective handling involves working across multiple disparate corporate silos, often under immense time and public-image pressures. Just identifying what technically happened and what data was affected can be daunting. Add to this is: increasingly cross-border data privacy and cybersecurity laws apply conflicting requirements and apply large penalties for failure to comply. In addition, corporations experiencing data breaches are increasingly suffering loss in sales value, shareholder derivative suits and even government investigations for their failure to comply.
This presentation will explore how companies across the globe are being impacted by data breaches, how trade secrets are at risk, some of the major laws and themes impacting your response, and provide you a strategy to prepare.
