Emerging Risks: London, UK Networking Forum

February 28, 2019

Data breaches and targeted hacks seem to make international headlines daily, with no sign of slowing down. From British Airways and MyFitnessPal to the infamous Cambridge Analytica-Facebook scandal, it seems that it’s only a matter of time until your organization’s data is compromised. With GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) now in effect and the recent news of a massive  â‚¬50 million fine against Google for failure to comply,  data privacy has become a top concern for organizations of any size and industry.  

This networking forum will discuss emerging risks in data privacy and information security, featuring a panel of experts to discuss how privacy risk impacts today’s organizations, how to mitigate the risk and strategies to minimize the damage when a breach does occur.

Why attend?

You’ll have an opportunity to network with your peers and learn from experts in risk, compliance and InfoSec. Oh, and we’ll be serving beer, wine and snacks too!

Over some 20 years in the city, Kate has built a reputation as a “go to” person for strategic and pragmatic data privacy advice on complex projects and issues.   She enjoys grappling with the subtleties of data protection and security; her aim, though, is to focus on the issues which really matter for her clients and to work collaboratively with them to arrive at clear and practical solutions.
