A company's most valuable asset is often not on the balance sheet: its data. Personal information about a company's customers, employees, and potential employees, as well as proprietary data that holds a competitive advantage for the business, are just a few examples.
And now that asset is under pressure from all directions. These include increasing cyber threats, the rapid adoption of AI tools that rely on sensitive data, and increased regulatory oversight of how data is used, stored, and protected. The challenge for boards is not just understanding risk. It's about knowing where to place oversight, what questions to ask, and how to spot gaps before they become real risks.
In this Ask the Expert session, the Corporate Board Member Network is joined by Kwabena Appenteng, Co-Chair of Littler's Privacy and Data Security Practice, to help boards reduce legal complexity and focus on what matters most to directors.
- Where companies are most at risk today (where boards are often blind)
- How AI is changing the data risk landscape
- What regulators increasingly expect and where law enforcement is headed
This is an intensive one-hour briefing aimed at increasing oversight in an area that is becoming increasingly defining of board-level risk.
