Data Privacy and Cybersecurity for Smart Wearables August 18, 2021, 11:00 AM (ET) Presented by Travis Norton, Bureau Veritas Consumer Products Services and Christopher Crowley, Montance LLC From the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation to California’s Information Privacy Civil Code to Canada’s Consumer Privacy Protection Act, there are a growing number of market requirements that define the need to ensure Data Privacy for consumers. Many of these regulations set minimum standards for Smart Wearables that collect, store and/or transmit user data. We will provide a brief overview of current / pending Data Privacy regulations and the implication these have on Smart Wearable devices. One of the key elements to ensuring data privacy compliance is having reliable security on devices, in applications and the cloud. We will explore the levels of security that can be applied to reduce the risk of cyber attack and look at some of the current approaches for penetration testing and vulnerability assessments for devices and applications as it relates to Smart Wearables.
