ACC NCR Year in Review: The Latest Updates in Privacy & Cybersecurity

Join us for a review of one of the biggest years in data privacy and cybersecurity, as regulators have increased the stakes of privacy enforcement with new laws, new regulatory actions and new presidential decrees impacting privacy against a backdrop of AI-fueled seismic shifts in both public and private sectors. We will break down the state of data privacy compliance and cybersecurity going into 2026, analyzing noteworthy updates such as:

• Trends in incident response: cybersecurity threats, insider threats, and investigations.
• Updates in privacy and data protection: From US states to the EU and beyond.
• Emerging AI best practices (and mistakes): Will regulations help? 
• Innovative security regulations: The CMMS final rule, PADFAA, and the Bulk Data Rule (Data Security Program (DSP)). 
• Trends in privacy litigation and strategies to avoid becoming the next target.
