International: Protecting trade secrets in the rapid remote world - 10 specific steps to take now (Webinar)

In brief

The way we work has been permanently transformed by the rapid deployment of a largely remote workforce during the shelter-in-place. Threats to companies' most valuable confidential data have not merely increased — an entirely new set of legal and technical risks to trade secrets have emerged over the last 90 days that are fundamentally different from those that existed before the world was transformed.


Contents

With a near 100% remote workforce, companies have lost visibility into many early warning signs that data is being compromised and are thus unprepared. Companies preparing to transition back to a partial in-office environment face additional challenges. 

Members of our North America Trade Secrets Practice will be joined by a leading forensic expert to provide 10 specific and practical legal and computer forensic steps that every company can institute immediately, and at minimal or no cost, to hedge these risks.
