Stephanie O. Sparks to Speak at CEIC 2015

Privacy and Data Security attorney Stephanie Sparks will speak at the largest conference for security, legal and digital investigations skill-building, CEIC® 2015.

Stephanie will speak on Managing Communications After a Compromise and Managing Business Risks in the Cloud.

Whether using software as a service or enterprise file services and sharing, organizations are relying more and more on the cloud to facilitate collaboration, support mobile users, and enhance business agility. That said, most GCs and CISOs would agree that the cloud raises the profile of business risks including concern over potential security breaches, control over sensitive data, and the ability to perform an e-discovery collection. In this panel, cloud business owners and security attorney will discuss problems, solutions and best practices in working with cloud providers.

The CEIC® 2015 conference will be May 18 through 21 at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. Click on links below for further details of Stephanie’s programs.
