While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, 2021 has seen both public and private actors increasingly prioritize consumer privacy and data security.

It marked an increase in ransomware attacks (like the SolarWinds incident and the Colonial Pipeline hack) and brought us more protective legislation to emphasize consumer choice and defend against emerging cybersecurity threats. Virginia and Colorado joined California in passing comprehensive, state-level privacy laws. President Biden even issued an executive order emphasizing a strong need for the federal government to cooperate with the private sector in detecting, preventing and remediating cyber threats. Against this legislative and practical backdrop, both companies and consumers need to be more vigilant with their data management and compliance strategies.

This CLE updates attendees on recent developments in privacy legislation, addresses ethical considerations in this era of emerging challenges and technology, dives into AI, and provides practical legal guidance on navigating vendor contracting issues based on lessons learned from SolarWinds.

Round out the day with sessions on how to conduct data impact assessments in a variety of jurisdictions and how to handle a data breach through an interactive, mock breach hypothetical.
