How Does Data Privacy Affect Corporate Responsibility?

Global companies now experience hundreds of data breaches every year, and news about misuse of user data is leaving stakeholders increasingly concerned. Beyond new privacy regulations that are forcing companies to act, a growing number of business leaders are looking deeper at the issue of privacy.

In this series sponsored by Symantec, we’ll examine data privacy as a pillar of corporate responsibility. With the help of experts from across the privacy and governance space, we’ll explore the societal and business risks associated with managing user data, how transparency can help companies re-establish trust among consumers, and how forward-thinking leaders can turn a tough conversation into an opportunity.
