Program Description: Protecting sensitive data is not just for banks anymore --nearly every business is vulnerable. Does your company take customer names? Customer payments? Does your company have employees? Does it have a health plan? If so, the world of data privacy and security has changed in the past several years, and as in-house counsel, you will be asked to stay ahead of the curve.
