WRAL News Interviews Partner Alicia Gilleskie on Cybersecurity

On Dec. 15, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and North Carolina Chamber hosted a cybersecurity conference in Durham, North Carolina, that included speakers from Duke Energy, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and Smith Anderson.

Following the conference, WRAL TV reporter Amanda Lamb caught up with Partner Alicia Gilleskie and asked her about the importance of data security.

“Many companies in the utility industry and the health care industry are trying to make sure that they protect information from hackers in foreign countries, from terrorist attacks or other intrusions,” she told the reporter.

Alicia heads Smith Anderson’s Data Use, Privacy and Security practice group, and has written extensively on topics related to data security.
