Our digital world is creating more data than ever before.

And according to findings from Norton Rose Fulbright’s 2024 Annual Litigation Trends Survey, as data volumes grow exponentially, so do cybersecurity and data privacy concerns.

From our survey:

• 40% of organizations saw their cybersecurity dispute exposure grow in 2023 – more than any other area – as cyberattacks reached record levels and the patchwork of data protection regulations grew in complexity.

• Cybersecurity, data protection and data privacy also top the list of litigation concerns in the year ahead amid the challenges posed by data management and AI.

In episode two of our miniseries, hosts Ted Brook, Partner, and Erin Brown, Senior Associate, are joined by the Canadian Co-Heads of Cybersecurity and data privacy at Norton Rose Fulbright: Imran Ahmad and John Cassell. Together, they dissect the nuances of cybersecurity, data privacy and emerging policies around AI as the dramatic growth of generative AI tools like ChatGPT outpaces existing legal frameworks. Now more than ever, organizations need to remain proactive in order to mitigate risks and take advantage of future opportunities.
