BETHESDA, Md., June 25, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- SANS Institute, the global leader in cyber security training, today announced SANS Network Security 2018 (#SANSNetworkSecurity) taking place September 23-30 in Las Vegas. Attorney and SANS course author Benjamin Wright (@benjaminwright) will give a special evening talk, Responding to the European Union's new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

According to Wright, "Although the General Data Protection Regulation applies in a direct sense only within the European Union, it has an impact worldwide. Join me in Las Vegas where I will examine that impact from a number of angles and put the regulation into a historical context. I will also share practical suggestions for all kinds of organizations to reduce their legal risk under GDPR."

In addition to his talk, Wright will teach his LEG523: Law of Data Security and Investigations course. This course addresses the urgent need for professionals to bridge the gap between the legal department and the information security team as driven by new laws on privacy, e-discovery and data security. SANS LEG523 provides unique professional training, including skills in the analysis and use of contracts, policies and cyber security questionnaires.
