While cybersecurity and data protection laws continue to develop in the United States and around the world, they trail behind more rapid advancements in industrial internet of things ("IoT"), cognitive and other artificial intelligence, cloud 2.0, mobility, and other technologies.
Navigating this evolving and complicated area of law poses a significant challenge for global businesses, which are concerned with ineffective national cybersecurity policy approaches, the rise of data localization and other information/infrastructure sovereignty policies around the world, restrictions on international data flows, protectionist approaches to the use of global cloud services, IoT technologies, remote IT services, and regulatory and liability uncertainty.
Mauricio Paez, a New York-based partner in Jones Day's Cybersecurity, Privacy & Data Protection Practice, has been helping companies, for more than 18 years, address and respond to these cybersecurity and privacy challenges in the United States and abroad. He assists companies with U.S. and global cybersecurity and data privacy compliance; cybersecurity and privacy diligence in corporate transactions; enterprise cyber risk management; and breach preparedness, response, and crisis management.
He also advises on handling internal data breach investigations; supervising forensic examinations and coordinating with law enforcement in investigations of criminal attacks; and regulatory investigations and enforcement actions by the FTC and HHS/OCR. In addition, Mauricio has significant experience advising clients on cybersecurity and privacy legal issues related to new product development and business initiatives, such as connected and driverless vehicles, smart cities, smart-grid, industrial internet applications and services, "big data" applications and analytics, machine learning and data rights, medical devices, and consumer IoT products.
