Our webinar objectives are:

· Provide an overview of your existing obligations under the Privacy Act

· Review the features of the new mandatory notification scheme for data breaches

· Outline what you should do to prepare

· Discuss some recent examples of data breaches (and what they illustrate about what not to do in response to a breach).
