Please join us for a talk on information security and the law presented by Donna A. Dulo MS, MA, MAS, MBA, JD, PhD(c). Please attend in person if you can, or if you are out of town, a dial-in number is provided in the comments below.

Topic:

With tens of thousands of unmanned aerial vehicles slated to enter our national airspace in the near future, a significant focus has been on privacy and safety issues. However the issues of security and information assurance ("IA") are just as pervasive. Data security, communications security, hostile takeover through methods such as GPS spoofing, and issues of lost link resulting in vehicle and data loss are some of the many examples of security and IA issues that face drone operators in all facets of vehicle operations. Maintaining data confidentiality, availability and integrity in drone operations is a complex task, and resulting breaches could potentially emerge not only as IA incidents but also as privacy and safety situations. This teleconference will focus on the issues of security and information assurance in drone operations and the potential legal issues that operators may face when security incidents occur during vehicle operations. It will also cover the compound issues that may emerge between security, privacy and safety in drone operations.
