Presented by Howard Loos • Chief Information Privacy Officer, Brigham Young University

Security is the most important concern for your data, right? This is true, however, the focus on data privacy has become much more relevant over the last couple of years. Join Howard Loos, for a high-level overview of the current US privacy landscape and how current laws protect specific types of Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Howard will discuss how GDPR and other growing “general” privacy laws will change how information is viewed by the business and managed by IT.

You will get a summary of the nine guiding principles to help comply with the new privacy environment. This presentation will be a good starting point for all IT professionals to get a better handle on the changing Data Privacy landscape.
