Privacy and data breaches are part of every company’s nightmare of what can go wrong. There is no company in any industry that is not exposed to risks and liabilities related to unauthorized access to personal information of individuals. The risk of data breaches, and the regulations governing company obligations to secure data, and to provide notification in the event of a breach, are increasing dramatically. These regulations affect every business that collects, maintain or transmits personal information or personal health information of individuals, including employees, clients and customers.
In light of these important issues, the Insurance and Reinsurance Department of Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge held a 60 minute complimentary webinar entitled “The Continuing Nightmare of Data Breach and Privacy Risks and Regulations: Increasing Risks, New Regulations, and Changing Deadlines” on December 1, 2009. The speakers, all Partners in EAPD’s Privacy Group, were: Theodore Augustinos, Laurie Kamaiko and David Szabo.
