The Growing Data Privacy Concerns Raised by the IoT: Smart Approaches to Manage Risks
The use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices across the globe is expanding rapidly. With its potential benefits, business after business is investing in this technology.
However, the growth of IoT also breeds complex information privacy challenges as the amount of data generated and transmitted expands and evolves. To address data abuse and security vulnerabilities, the U.S. government (among others) is poised to impose new restrictions and policies.
As the public increasingly adopts connected devices, cybercriminals gain more opportunities to launch new attacks. Thus, companies must remain vigilant about addressing cyber vulnerabilities and essential privacy considerations involved in the adoption of IoT technology – both as to business contexts and as to consumer usage.
Join distinguished data security and privacy lawyers Paul Lanois (Fieldfisher) and Kenneth Dort (Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP) as they offer a discussion on the latest developments and the biggest data privacy issues raised by IoT. They will also provide practical approaches to safeguard data while leveraging the use of IoT.
