Legal Considerations for Privacy and Security

"Some security is better than no security. If you are a small business, and you don't have all the resources to invest in a huge cybersecurity program, that's ok! Start with the basics, such as strong passwords, the use of VPNs, and trainings on cyber threats like phishing and malware."Privacy and security considerations can be difficult to get your arms around; when laws and regulations come into play they add another layer of complexity.

Victoria E. Beckman (Lead Digital Crimes Unit Americas - Corporate, External, and Legal Affairs for Microsoft) sits down with Host and Principal Security Analyst Jen Stone (MCIS, CISSP, CISA, QSA) to discuss the relationships between privacy, security, and legal matters in our digital world.
