Cybersecurity
As cybersecurity and data protection become front of mind issues for businesses across Latin America, The Legal 500 assembled elite in-house counsel from across Colombia to discuss the implications.
On the morning of Pope Francis’s arrival in Colombia – and as Bogotá went into security lockdown – The Legal 500 and sponsor firm Posse Herrera Ruiz held a breakfast roundtable on cybersecurity and data protection.
With attendees from a range of industries for which data is their business, such as Microsoft and Hewlett Packard Enterprise; via information-sensitive businesses such as insurance, with representatives from AIG, Liberty Mutual, Allianz Colombia and health insurer Banmedica, to financials (GM Financial), pharmaceuticals (Roche), engineering (Siemens; El Condor), retail (Productos Ramo) and services ranging from Promigas to DirecTV, we were fortunate to count upon a spectrum of participants with differing concerns and perspectives on the subjects in question. Not to mention representatives of the so-called disruptor industries – such as Uber – the very business models of which are reliant upon tech-driven data utilities.
