Warner Employment News from the Law Shanty

Expanding Cybersecurity and Privacy Laws Heighten HR Department Responsibilities 

Today's Warner Employment News from the Law Shanty video sheds light on what HR professionals need to know about cybersecurity and privacy, featuring insights from Steve Palazzolo, Kelly Hollingsworth and Nate Steed. Kelly and Nate, co-chairs of the firm’s Cybersecurity and Privacy Practice Group, specialize in advising clients on technology, data privacy and information security law.

You might wonder, "What relevance do cybersecurity and privacy have in the context of labor and employment?" The answer: Quite a lot.

Traditionally, human resources departments have shouldered the responsibility of gathering and safeguarding sensitive employee information. However, with the increased scrutiny on organizations’ data privacy and security practices, this responsibility is on the rise.

Steve, Kelly and Nate draw from their extensive experience to explore various scenarios they've encountered and offer best practices for organizations to proactively mitigate the risks posed by potential breaches or cyberattacks.
