On September 5th, Partner Ken Rashbaum presented at the Commerce and Industry Association of New Jersey (CIANJ) data privacy summit. New Jersey’s largest chamber of commerce, the CIANJ consists of over 500 member companies, including industry giants such as Verizon, United Airlines, Johnson & Johnson, Altice, and Honeywell. Entitled “Data - The New Commodity: What You Need to Know About Privacy Laws,” the summit focused on the management and protection of Personally Identifiable Information in an increasingly data-driven economy. Ken spoke about the privacy and cybersecurity bill, A4640, that he assisted Assemblywoman Valerie Huttle (D-Bergen) in drafting and on which he has testified as a privacy and cybersecurity expert before the Assembly Homeland Security and State Preparedness Committee. The bill has bipartisan support and was introduced in the Senate by Senator Thomas Kean, Jr. (R-Union).
