A successful Data Protection and Cybersecurity Networking event recently took place in Miami! 🙌🇺🇸 The event provided a platform for discussing the evolving challenges and strategies in data protection and cybersecurity within the sports industry. Underscoring the critical importance of collaboration and information exchange to stay ahead of cyber threats and data protection challenges, the event highlighted the necessity for sports organisations to prioritise data protection and cybersecurity. The event featured Ashish Khanna, Senior Managing Director at Verizon and J. Trevor Hughes, CEO and President of IAPP.
