2017 has been a big year for the rapidly evolving data privacy and cybersecurity arenas, especially for emerging technology. It is often a daunting task to keep up with legal and regulatory changes, especially given the cross-functional nature of the connective technologies such as the "internet-of things" (IoT). Thus, our goal with Data Privacy Landscape Update is to provide practitioners with: (1) a holistic view of recent major developments; (2) concise analyses of issues based on a pragmatic approach; and (3) a tool to connect the many facets of emerging technologies.

We hope that you find this publication useful, as we will continue to supplement this publication to address current events and emerging challenges in today's ever-evolving legal and business environment. Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions about the publication or about connective devices, data security, information governance or privacy. We also welcome any suggestions as to how we can improve this and other publications.
