Evaluating Privacy and Cybersecurity Risks in Emerging Technology Transactions

In this two-part article series, we examine U.S., UK, and EU regulatory trends in four key emerging technology sectors that recently have seen vastly increasing amounts of transactional activity. The first installment covers artificial intelligence and education technology transactions, and part two addresses biometrics, as well as financial technology and cryptocurrency transactions.

Based on our experience assessing the privacy and cybersecurity aspects of several recent transactions in these data-intensive sectors, we outline many of the key issues that stakeholders may wish to consider when evaluating the privacy, data protection, and cybersecurity risk profiles of target companies in those industries.
