As corporations have advised their employees to work from home in light of COVID-19, it is important to remember that doing so is not without its risks. For any organization that has information to protect — be it a customer or employee personally identifying information, financial information, or confidential and proprietary trade secrets — permitting company data to travel home with or be remotely accessed by employees raises the chances of a cyber-incident involving that data. And, where a “cyber-mishap” occurs, the company may have a duty to report the incident to consumers, regulators and business counterparties.Put simply, cyber criminals are not expected to take a “corona-holiday.” Fortunately, it is never too late to address these potential privacy and data security risks — and to develop clear guidance for employees to follow. This webinar will address these risks against the backdrop of US law and global norms and best practices in data privacy and security.

The webinar will cover:

Cyber-risks commonly associated with Work-From-Home (WFH)
Legal obligations to safeguard information and systems
Policies and procedures to address WFH cyber-risk
Best Practices and practical advice to address cyber-risk
