Week 6 (Nov. 2, 2022): Data Breach Notification & Data Security Requirements

This week, we’ll look at the flip side of legal liability when a company (or other organization) gets hacked: the victim company’s own potential liability under state laws and agency regulations that require a minimum level of data security and impose notification requirements in the event of a data breach (or, increasingly, other cybersecurity incident).
