Privacy and Security Law Institute (Ninth Annual)

Overview

Why You Should Attend

This program focuses on critical issues of privacy and data protection faced by all companies, including legal compliance requirements in online privacy and information security practices. The Internet and other emerging information technologies have created powerful tools for the collection, processing, storage and use of personal information.
