Data security is a more urgent concern than ever. Almost all businesses are in possession of confidential personal, financial and proprietary information, so it’s no surprise they’ve become prime hacking targets. Data security ranks as in-house counsel’s top priorities. Businesses rely on you for advice on handling confidential data. In this presentation, Melody McAnally of Butler Snow’s data security and privacy team will use real world examples to discuss some of the key data security and related ethics issues facing in-house counsel.

The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) recently released its Annual Report for the calendar year of 2022. In addition to the trend that CFIUS required mitigation measures in nearly one out of every four unique transactions for which a notice was filed, Singapore has emerged as the new lead investor country in notices.
This program will feature an interactive discussion of national security concerns facing companies today. With today’s ever-changing geopolitical climate, governments and regulators have given increased scrutiny to foreign investments that involve emerging and critical technologies, critical infrastructure, and personal data. Understanding the shared regulatory trends, as well as unique considerations of each regime, has become critical for those engaged in international trade, investment, and mergers and acquisitions. The speakers will discuss:
Key takeaways from CFIUS Annual Report
