It seems like only yesterday that the United States' privacy and data security legal regimes were a relatively light lift compared to those of the European Union and other parts of the world. Now, privacy and data security professionals are laboring under a bevy of new laws and regulations that signal an increased government interest in regulating businesses' collection, use and disclosure of individuals' personal information.
In 2023, we will see at least five new, comprehensive state privacy laws go into effect, arduous new breach notification requirements for certain types of businesses, and maybe even federal comprehensive privacy legislation. Similarly, in California, employers will face a slew of new obligations to employees that previously were reserved for consumers.
On top of all this, international disputes have set off an increase in cybercrime and, consequently, data breaches. Unlike countries with a comprehensive federal law, the United States still has a patchwork of privacy and security laws, making for a dizzying set of obligations for those trying to stay compliant.
This CLE manuscript focuses on navigating through the patchwork and getting ready for 2023.
Topics include:
- Updates to Federal Agency Breach Notification Standards
- Lessons Learned From Law Firm Data Breaches
- Cryptocurrency
- Cybersecurity Framework for Lawyers
- Development of Corporate Data Protection Program
- What? Employees Have Privacy Rights Too?
