About this event
Unauthorized disclosure of protected information is bad enough – the dreaded ‘records breach’. But today, because of privacy statutes in California and elsewhere, records disclosure is quickly followed by class action lawsuits. This does not have a deterrent effect, and as the healthcare sector is preferentially targeted for extortion, a situation is developing where we are suing our own hospitals out of business.
Join cybersecurity veterans Michael Hamilton and Fred Langston from Critical Insight, alongside legal expert Aravind Swaminathan from Orrick law firm as we discuss the origin of the private right of action for privacy breaches, the effects of these suits on healthcare and other sectors, and where it’s going from here. You’ll learn why plaintiffs do or do not have standing to sue, and steps you can take to protect your organization from becoming a litigation target.
Gain insider strategies on how to demonstrate compliance with State and Federal regulations to serve as a ‘safe harbor’, why communication is your best ally, and how proposed federal privacy legislation may change everything.
Join us Tuesday, July 30th at 11:30am PT/2:30 ET
