Keynote Chat with Dr. Larry Ponemon of The Ponemon Institute
Join us for a fireside chat with Dr. Ponemon addressing:

  • Trends in the costs to respond to a data breach or cyberattack
  • Investments in people, processes, and technologies to help minimize the financial consequences of a breach
  • How time to discovery and containment relates to the cost of a data breach

Managing the Complexity of Data Protection Regulation
HSE’s Privacy and Data Security team will share practical solutions for dealing with the increasing complexity and confusion surrounding data protection law and regulation. From CDPA to CCPA to CPRA to GDPR and beyond, certain common regulatory threads appear that allow an organization to direct its data protection efforts in a way that meets the core obligations of many data protection regimes—reducing cost, redundancy, and burden. The HSE team will also discuss risks to avoid both in relation to your approach to data protection compliance as well as the increasing risk of cyberattacks and data protection blunders.
