Jon Neiditz

Jon Neiditz co-leads the Cybersecurity, Privacy and Data Governance Practice at knowledge asset protection law firm Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP.  Jon has been named a “Cybersecurity Trail Blazer” by the National Law Journal, is listed as one of the Best Lawyers in America® in Information Management Law, and is listed more questionably by Twitter (of course) as the 82nd most influential person in the world in data security (the last of which led Jon to seek isolation from the social media world, wanting only to converse with Ponemon Fellows on long walks). 

One of the first lawyers to focus broadly on data governance and knowledge asset protection, Jon helps clients anticipate and obviate information risks, appropriately monetize information, comply with information laws, and contain and obtain coverage for incidents.  He has managed responses to multiple data breaches and other information security incidents every week since 2005 as well as helped design and implement many strategic and compliance initiatives in the areas of privacy, cybersecurity and information management.  Jon holds a J.D. from Yale Law School and a B.A., magna cum laude, from Dartmouth College.  When he reenters the world, Jon will again blog at datalaw.net and https://www.linkedin.com/in/informationmanagementlaw, and tweet as @jonneiditz.
