Today’s guest is Peter Stockburger, the office managing partner for the Firm’s San Diego office, a member of the Firm’s Venture Technology and Emerging Growth Companies group, and co-lead of the Firm’s Autonomous Vehicle practice. Teresa and Peter discuss ‘Cyber Security: Is Your Organization Ready?’

Most of today’s organizations work with digital files, long gone are the days of file rooms. So, are these employers ready to safeguard these files? Teresa and Peter discuss the laws for cyber security and what employers need to do to keep their files safe. Employers have lots of personal information in their files; benefits information, Human Resource files, Social Security, and Financial information. Most of the laws are at the state level. Peter helps to define what is ‘responsible’ when it comes to the protection of cybersecurity.

Teresa and Peter also discuss the unique cybersecurity challenges with so many employees working remotely and how employers can balance the need for cybersecurity with employees’ workplace privacy rights.
