There are now billions and billions of interconnected devices in the
world with more coming online every day. Smart cars. Smart cities. Smart
agriculture and so much more. Even our pets are connected. And you have
to look no further than the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack to see
the real-world consequences of what criminals can pull off by connecting
with things large and small. Worried about your privacy? Well. There is
plenty to worry about. Fortunately we also have a lot of people
fighting back on the technical, security, law enforcement, and legal
fronts.
Joining me to discuss this emerging area of law is Kathryn M. Rattigan,
a member of the Business Litigation Group, the Data Privacy +
Cybersecurity Team, and the Drone Compliance Team in the Rhode Island
office of Robinson Cole.
Kathryn
provides clients guidance regarding privacy and data protection in
connection with mobile devices, data storage technologies, mobile apps,
and location-based services. She assists with the development of
website and mobile app privacy policies and terms and conditions.
Kathryn is a frequent contributor to the excellent Robinson Cole Data Privacy + Cybersecurity Insider blog. She holds a J.D. from the Roger Williams University School of Law and a B.A. (magna cum laude) from Stonehill College.
This podcast is the audio companion to the Journal on Emerging Issues in Litigation, a collaborative project between HB Litigation Conferences and the Fastcase legal research family, which includes Full Court Press, Law Street Media,
Docket Alarm and, most recently, Judicata. If you have comments or wish
to participate in one our projects, or want to tell me how insightful

Finally, yes, “skeevy” is a word. And the law is not settled as to whether Shiloh has privacy rights.
