Description

A top legal specialist has warned of the serious and evolving data protection risks facing employers and employees in the post-COVID employment landscape.

Michael Murphy, partner with leading corporate law firm Holmes, will speak at this GDPR-focused event. He will be joined by Garrett O’Neill, assistant Commissioner with the Data Protection Commission Ireland.

Mr Murphy will share his insight and the firm’s expertise in advising corporate clients on the high-stake risks and mitigating efforts that CEOs should familiarize themselves with in order to avoid cyber crime such as the catastrophic hacking that recently brought the HSE to its knees.

He will examine ways in which employers can protect both their employees and their business’ personal data from attack and what to do if an attack does happen so as that employers can mitigate the risks as much as possible.

Garrett O’Neill, head of private sector and financial consultation section in the Data Protection Commission will give very a insightful presentation with real-life examples of data breaches and the fall-outs from such breaches.

This is a very relevant topic in the current climate given the increasing emphasis on data security.
