In Part III of this Financial Services curriculum, the attorneys of Epstein Becker’s financial services strategic industry group discuss the government's regulatory and supervisory role in those companies' efforts to protect their highly sensitive data, and the ramifications when those efforts fall short.  In addition, the course includes a discussion of the impact of accessibility laws on the use of technology, with a specific focus on external websites and the use of touchscreen devices.
