Megan Brown Co-Authors National Security Institute’s New Law and Policy Paper on ‘Privacy Regulation and Unintended Consequences for Security’
Megan L. Brown, partner in Wiley Rein’s National Security, Privacy, Cyber & Data Governance, and Telecom, Media & Technology practices, co-authored a new law and policy paper published today by the National Security Institute (NSI) at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School. The paper is co-authored with NSI Visiting Fellow James B. Burchfield.
The paper addresses:
-
The federal urgency to act in response to public concern and the rapid global and domestic expansion of comprehensive privacy regulation.
-
Implications privacy regulation can have for data protection and beneficial security activities.
-
The argument that artificial intelligence (AI), biometrics, and certain data categories are all critical to security innovations and activities and must be protected in privacy regulation.
-
Actionable recommendations to ensure privacy regulation appropriately balances individual rights with security.
