Partner Ken Rashbaum Tapped as Panelist for Webinars on GDPR/Cybersecurity and Intellectual Property

Partner Kenneth Rashbaum was recently a featured speaker for a GDPR data privacy webinar co-produced by Financial Poise and West LegalEdcenter titled, “Introduction to EU General Data Protection Regulation: Planning, Implementation, and Compliance.”

Since its implementation in 2018, the GDPR has changed the way the world collects, stores, and sends personal data by requiring businesses to protect the personal data of EU citizens, whether the business itself is in the EU or elsewhere. The webinar delved into the GDPR’s applicability, its requirements, and how organizations can meet its strict standards to avoid heavy fines for non-compliance.

Ken was also tapped to speak for a CLE webinar titled, “Real-World Cyber Risks for Attorneys and How They Can Protect Themselves: A Practical Guide to Crafting and Implementing Data Protection Controls and Meeting Technology Ethics Requirements,” hosted by the International Intellectual Property Society (IIPS).

This webinar provided a high-level overview of topics such as:

• Ethical obligations and professional responsibilities regarding data protection
• Key laws related to cybersecurity, privacy, and data protection
• The threat landscape and exposures to clients
• Risks and privacy implications for lawyers
• Protecting confidential data, including inadvertent or unauthorized disclosures of confidential information
• Practical suggestions and firm data safeguards
