Winter 2021 Privacy Alert Roundup
While 2020 represented a landmark year in data privacy in the U.S., the legal machinations that have taken place so far are showing that things won't slow down much from a regulatory standpoint in 2021. We're still early into the new year and already we've seen a few big news items: new data privacy law proposals, new enforcement for cybersecurity incident notifications, and some major missteps in data security by big companies — with the earth-shattering SolarWinds breach still garnering daily headline news despite it now being months old.
In this Winter 2021 Privacy Alert Roundup, we'll take a look at Virginia's new proposed data protection law, a new proposed federal banking rule regarding cybersecurity incidents, and how lackadaisical vendor risk management can come back to bite you in court.
