You might wonder, "What relevance do cybersecurity and privacy have in the context of labor and employment?" The answer: Quite a lot.
With an increasing number of states enacting their own data privacy regulations, organizations face a pressing need to equip their teams with the skills necessary to effectively manage, store and safeguard both employee and customer data. Traditionally, human resources departments have shouldered the responsibility of gathering and safeguarding sensitive employee information.
