The European Union’s new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) began immediately reshaping the digital landscape upon coming into force on May 25th. In the wake of the implementation of GDPR, which provides for tough regulation of enterprises which fail to secure the data of EU citizens, the effects are being felt in America, too. US tech giants have already been sued for violating the terms, while major American newspapers have been forced to throttle global access to their websites for fear of noncompliance.
This chaotic response speaks to a serious and widespread issue: private and public enterprises, and the individuals working for them, do not understand what GDPR actually provides for, and how it could govern your everyday work.
In this webinar, UpGuard Cyber Risk Analyst Dan O’Sullivan will take the viewer through GDPR 101, explaining the basic terms, provisions, and potential future of GDPR. UpGuard will take you beyond this world of misunderstanding to show GDPR’s real aims, and how both public and private enterprises can seek to adhere to these new regulations.
Viewers will learn:
-The basic terms, provisions, and applications of GDPR regulations.
-How GDPR is designed to be enforced, even against US-based companies and institutions.
-The requirements of enterprises to become compliant with GDPR.
