Major changes are happening in the European Economic Area (EEA) due to the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). From new stringent compliance obligations for businesses, to enhancements of individuals’ privacy rights, and significant increases in potential fines, the GDPR drastically alters the global data privacy and security landscape.


In this program, Francoise Gilbert will provide highlights of the GDPR and discuss its significant impact on businesses in the US and worldwide, outside the EEA.
