Organizations are increasingly dependant on digital technologies, and with that comes greater exposure to cyber security risks. Cyberattacks are affecting organizations across industries and are becoming more sophisticated. According to the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, cybercrime is the most common threat faced by Canadian organizations of all sizes.

While the cyber risks faced by organizations are similar regardless of whether located in Canada or the United States, the legal obligations, risks, and liabilities differ based upon whether Canadian, US or both sets of laws apply. As many organizations have cross-border operations, it’s important to understand the differences and how to respond to and comply with one’s obligations.

Join us for a discussion about how Canadian cybersecurity and privacy laws compare to laws in the United States and how to protect against cybersecurity risks.

Our presenters will cover the following topics:

• How to mitigate the risk of a breach
• Cross-border considerations
• Cybersecurity trends in Canada and the United States
• Legislative reform
