Adopting, designing or marketing new technologies: what you need to know before it's too late*

16:00-17:00 GMT | 11:00-12:00 EST 

It’s a well known truth that retrospective corrections are always more painful and costly. Never more so when the corrective lesson is being given by an aggressive plaintiff bar or regulator, or a sales cycle slowed to a virtual halt by customer push back. Trust and the ethical high ground is difficult to reinstate once lost. Yet the growing matrix of global data privacy and cybersecurity laws can seem overwhelming.

Led by our global heads of Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Paula Barrett and Michael Bahar, this session will equip attendees with key points to focus on, which they can take back to their business to inform a data strategy and risk assessment which adds real value and potential cost savings to their product and service development initiatives. Topics covered will include privacy and security by design, data transfers and localisation, biometrics, marketing, AI, Crypto and other emerging technology regulatory themes.

Speakers:

  • Michael Bahar, Co-Lead of Global Cybersecurity and Data Privacy, Eversheds Sutherland
  • Paula Barrett, Co-Lead of Global Cybersecurity and Data Privacy, Eversheds Sutherland
  • Marie McGinley, Head of Intellectual Property, Technology and Data Protection, Eversheds Sutherland
