Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC AlabamaData security is a more urgent concern than ever. Almost all businesses are in possession of confidential personal, financial and proprietary information, so it’s no surprise they’ve become prime hacking targets. Data security ranks as in-house counsel’s top priorities. Businesses rely on you for advice on handling confidential data. In this presentation, Melody McAnally of Butler Snow’s data security and privacy team will use real world examples to discuss some of the key data security and related ethics issues facing in-house counsel.
