IT Security and Data Protection for remote working & learning
Date Tuesday, Dec 1 Time – Room
With major companies around the world now announcing permanent work from home options, and greater trends towards students learning from home, the global shift towards remote working and learning is projected to continue growing, well after the pandemic. Students and employees using their own devices and networks create a great deal of vulnerability, not only for the individuals but for the institutions and companies themselves. There have already been increases in security exploits by hackers on popular free apps and platforms. In this session, we will identify risks and best practice solutions for legal and IT security based on GDPR. It will give you an overview on how to protect your students, employees, and company networks when providing remote work/learning.

Kirsten Wolgast, LL.M. (University of Canterbury, NZ), is a German lawyer and partner at the global law firm Pinsent Masons. She studied laws and philosophy in Germany and New Zealand and was admitted as Rechtsanwältin in Germany in 2006. She specialises in IT and data protection laws and has assisted various organizations in their GDPR implementation projects, including various institutions in the health and research sector. Beyond her immediate legal practice, Kirsten is very interested in all sorts of legal tech solutions, including legal serious games and legal learning software. 6 months after the GDPR has entered into force, she believes it is time to start discussing whether the GDPR actually achieves what it aims at. Do we really have a harmonized European data protection regime? Does the GDPR protect data subjects' interests sufficiently?
