The large-scale shift to telework brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic is prompting businesses around the world to explore new avenues to engage with clients and friends. Harris Bricken is no exception, and we are happy to provide this podcast series: Global Law and Business, hosted by international attorneys Fred Rocafort and Jonathan Bench.

In Episode #31, we are joined by Doug Brush, a cybersecurity expert at Splunk. We discuss:

• Current legal frameworks used to address cybersecurity.
• Data privacy concerns, including the EU’s GDPR and California’s CCPA, and whether a business or government can ever be 100% cyber secure.
• How companies should think about their cybersecurity, including which data generates revenue for the business, the data lifecycle, breach responses, and cyber insurance.
• The goals, motivations, cadences, and patterns of state-sponsored and other hacker groups.
• Some of the most important issues being discussed today among cybersecurity professionals.
• Reading, listening, and watching recommendations from:
  • Doug
    • Various cyber insurance conferences available online (WSJ’s Pro Cybersecurity Forum) (Net Diligence’s Cyber Risk Conferences)
    • Splunk.com‘s free online webinars
  • Jonathan

We’ll see you next week when we sit down with Joel Gallo, CEO of Columbia China League Business Advisory Co., a cross-border transactions and management consulting firm.

We will be discussing the practical aspects of Chinese law and how it impacts business there. We will be telling you what works and what does not and what you as a businessperson can do to use the law to your advantage. Our aim is to assist businesses already in China or planning to go into China, not to break new ground in legal theory or policy.
