New laws are taking effect across the globe to regulate the collection, use, retention, disclosure and disposal of personal information. At the same time, the rate of cyber attacks, data breaches and unauthorized use of personal data is growing exponentially. In the current environment, it is more important than ever, particularly for those organisations/business entities handling financial data, health information and other personally identifiable information, to understand the rights and obligations of individuals and organisations with respect to personal information.
The presentation will provide an overview of some of the new data privacy laws, rules and regulations that are, or soon will be, in effect, outline cyber security and data protection best practices and compliance programmes to help organisations comply with the evolving new data privacy requirements, and touch on the role of new technologies in mitigating risks and supporting compliance.
