Jennifer Mitchell is a Partner and the Head of Privacy Governance and Technology Transactions at Baker Hostetler, a law firm specializing in digital risk advisory and cybersecurity, blockchain and digital assets, financial services, and more. Jennifer's law career spans over 15 years with legal, compliance, and operations expertise. At Baker Hostetler, Jennifer provides business solutions to uphold evolving US state privacy laws in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation, HIPAA, and California Consumer Privacy Act. In this episode… The amended California Consumer Privacy Act defines employees as consumers. So what does that mean for employee privacy rights? The CCPA affects employee rights by requiring employers to implement security measures to protect employees' personal information. These measures include implementing data security policies and procedures, conducting regular security audits, and training employees on data security best practices. Privacy lawyer Jennifer Mitchell explains that CCPA gives workers the right to request their employers disclose the personal information employers have collected about them. This gives employees the freedom to either opt out of selling their data or have their information deleted from their employer's records. Additionally, CCPA prohibits companies from discriminating against employees who request their rights. Join Jodi and Justin Daniels in today's episode of the She Said Privacy/He Said Security Podcast, where they welcome Jennifer Mitchell, Partner at Baker Hostetler, to discuss employee privacy under the California Consumer Privacy Act. Jennifer discusses the difference between "right to know" and "right to delete," opportunities for employee privacy rights to build relationships between companies and employees, and how company employee monitoring may potentially violate employee privacy rights.

With that demand, developers often rush to launch but must adhere to complicated privacy regulations. How can developers create delightful apps while remaining compliant?

Nia explains how cultural differences affect privacy across the globe, demystifying compliance complexities, and procedures for governing AI within product development.

Roderic Deichler is the Co-founder and Chief Security Officer at AfterDark, a boutique blockchain security company delivering white glove services, such as smart contract advising, pentesting, and security advising. Roderic founded the company to fill the security gap in Web3. Before AfterDark, he led pentesting at Mandiant and smart contract audits at Coinbase and OpenZeppelin. Roderic discovered his enthusiasm for cybersecurity while studying computer science at UC Santa Barbara and competing in Capture the Flag competitions and hackathons. In this episode… Web3 is an extension of cryptocurrency and innovatively uses blockchain. Since a blockchain stores many tokens in a digital wallet, how can cybersecurity professionals fill security gaps on Web3? Risks that threaten Web3 include smart contracts, phishing, scams, and hacks targeting a user's crypto wallet. According to Roderic Deichler, a veteran cybersecurity professional, there are multiple best practices to mitigate security risks, including applying security strategically, security audits, and multifactor authentication. Security architects use various thought processes when applying security, usually embracing security-by-design principles. Since developers conduct several project tests before and after releasing new code, companies should consider employing internal security teams or consulting security auditors to reveal potential bugs. Social hacking has become a prevalent method for tricking users into revealing their confidential information. To diminish this risk, Roderic suggests using multifactor authentication (MFA), a multi-step process requiring more instruction plus a password. In this episode of the She Said Privacy/He Said Security Podcast, Jodi and Justin Daniels interview Roderic Deichler, Co-founder and Chief Security Officer of AfterDark, about cybersecurity risks. Roderic explains security risks in smart contracts, phishing risks in Bitcoin and other digital wallet assets, and AI's impact on cybersecurity.

In this episode… Lawyers endorse the Data Privacy Framework as a valuable tool to mitigate cybersecurity risks. However, many experts argue that protecting businesses from other privacy risks — such as those posed by AI — is not enough. The draft of the European Union AI Act has sparked debate among privacy professionals, with some advocating for a prohibition on the unrestricted use of AI technologies such as biometrics in real time. Mark Webber, a seasoned lawyer with expertise in technology and privacy, disagrees with this approach. He cautions against AI's high-risk threats to transport, infrastructure, and decision-making. To mitigate these risks, Mark suggests that companies conduct an AI impact assessment, such as the one developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, before implementing generative AI systems. He also warns that, given the ever-evolving nature of AI, any governing policies will only be effective with proper education and training. In this episode of the She Said Privacy/He Said Security Podcast, Mark Webber, US Managing Partner at Fieldfisher, joins Jodi and Justin Daniels to discuss the US-EU Data Privacy Framework and AI. Mark explains how the framework will impact businesses, the European Union AI Act, the intersection of AI regulation with GDPR, and why organizations should consider implementing AI assessment frameworks.
