Event Description

The Federal Trade Commission, the International Association of Privacy Professionals, and the Northwestern University School of Law co-hosted a one-day public workshop on how businesses can secure the personal information of consumers and employees. The workshop featured business people, attorneys, government officials, privacy officers, and other experts discussing data security in general, best practices for developing an appropriate data security program, and how businesses can respond to security problems, including data breaches.
