Get your arms around digital governance in this program, which will cover the results of the Carnegie Mellon CyLab 2012 Governance Report on how boards and senior executives are governing the privacy and security of their digital assets. This is the first global survey on this topic, and comparisons of results for regions around the world will be discussed. Key findings will be discussed, noting areas where governance is weak and, in comparison with the CyLab 2008 and 2010 reports (U.S. only), where improvements are evident. The fluid nature of legal frameworks around the globe for privacy and security creates special challenges for all organizations, and their counsel need to understand essential governance responsibilities and know where attention is commonly lacking.

Educational Objectives:

• Understand the governance role for senior executives and boards of directors

• Understand the biggest gaps in governance and the areas of enterprise security programs that are important focal points

• Learn what measures can be taken to improve governance within an organization

Who would benefit most from attending the program?

Inside and outside counsel, privacy and security personnel, and managers.

Program Level: Intermediate
