Executive Roundtable: Cybersecurity, Privacy & Data Protection in Asia
Join an exclusive group of 15 senior in-house legal professionals for this presentation and interactive roundtable discussion. We will explore new and proposed cyber-security and data protection regulations in Asia focusing on practical issues such as potential pitfalls and penalties, and steps for compliance that businesses should be aware of when designing data protection policies, handling cross-border transfers, managing third party vendors and addressing data breaches.
