Carlton Fields’ Christina Gagnier Authors Article in CISO MAG on 2022 Trends in U.S. State Privacy Law Adoption

Carlton Fields cybersecurity attorney Christina Gagnier authored an article for CISO MAG, “2022 Trends in U.S. State Privacy Law Adoption,” reviewing the state-by-state approach to consumer privacy and data security regulation.

“Throughout the United States, state legislatures considered privacy and security reforms. While some bills aimed to target specific industries or practices, others contained comprehensive privacy regulations. The trends of 2021 will likely pick-up steam in 2022, with more states finding it necessary to rein in data and security practices in the private sector, especially in light of the uptick in data security incidents in 2021,” said Gagnier.

Additionally, Gagnier provided three predictions for the future of cybersecurity, saying there will be a shift from a reactive to a proactive paradigm.
