Data Privacy Forecast: 2021 On Pace to Be a Milestone Year
After a year of turmoil, a restoration of certainty is now within reach. COVID-19 vaccines are rolling out worldwide, bringing the end of the pandemic in sight. As the economy and business operations begin to stabilize in the new year, organizations will take stock of lessons learned and new risks that need to be addressed. In-house legal and information governance teams are likely to be at the forefront of these efforts, with a keen focus on the data privacy, security and compliance gaps that were exposed during the pandemic.
In watching regulatory developments and engaging with clients throughout the pandemic, my colleagues within FTI Consulting's Technology segment have gathered a series of predictions for how data privacy and regulatory issues will evolve in 2021. The team was unanimous in agreeing that the combined effects of remote employees, new workplace collaboration tools, stringent data protection enforcement in many global jurisdictions and an anticipated increase in regulatory oversight under the Biden administration will place renewed pressure on corporations to have their governance, risk and compliance programs in sound working order. Many also anticipate spending on privacy and security initiatives to increase, and the role of privacy professionals to become more business-critical within multinational corporations. Numerous internal and external variables are also expected to influence change in how organizations manage their data and define their risk tolerance.

Protecting Innovation in the Cyber World from Patent Trolls
With trillions of dollars to keep watch over, the last thing we need is the distraction of costly litigation brought on by patent assertion entities (PAEs or "patent trolls"), companies that don't make any products but instead seek royalties by asserting their patents against those who do make products.
