As organizations contend with an increasingly fragmented landscape of state-level data privacy regulations, John Dearman is leading a strategic effort to automate governance and compliance across his enterprise. At the Houston CISO Dinner, he will outline the steps involved in building a cross-functional data governance program designed to unify security, legal, and business objectives. Dearman will share insights into the integration of open-source and commercial tools, approaches to isolating sensitive data, reducing manual processes, and managing competing priorities across departments.
Join your security peers for a discussion on the challenges of governing a patchwork of privacy laws, including:
- Strategies for navigating conflicting state privacy requirements
