This past year also saw a substantial uptick in scrutiny and enforcement by federal and state regulators, as well as civil litigation, and we expect this amplified focus on privacy and cybersecurity issues to continue. Although the full impact of these developments is yet to be realized, one thing is clear: in 2023, the flurry of regulatory, enforcement, and litigation activity will likely continue and require close monitoring.
