Sarah Hutchins was a guest on CyberWire Daily, a leading news and insights podcast that provides timely updates on cybersecurity threats, data breaches, and other significant events in the cyber landscape.

Sarah joined host Dave Bittner for a discussion about key legal issues facing companies such as the evolving patchwork of state data privacy laws, litigation trends related to targeted advertising and wiretapping, and key takeaways for companies on cybersecurity practices and risk reporting.

"The clients that I represent — companies all over the country — are dealing with an environment that I would say is really in flux," Sarah said. "There is some federal guidance that’s available to certain industries or focused on certain categories of people but in large part we’re dependent upon the states to give us regulatory guidance at least as to what is or is not OK with respect to individual data."

"The challenge with that for a lot of companies is that while they may be in a certain state, their digital presence is non-jurisdictional," Sarah continued. "The laws at the state level are largely focused on where the individual lives. So, companies find themselves subject to a whole host of different laws."
