This interview features, Kirk Herath Associate Vice-President, Associate General Counsel and Chief Privacy Officer for Nationwide Insurance Company and its affiliates based in Columbus, Ohio. 

Mr. Herath leads a team that has primary responsibility for corporate privacy policy and implementing privacy across all of Nationwide's businesses.  He represents Nationwide's interests on many industry and business privacy groups and before U.S. Federal legislative and regulatory bodies.  He is also responsible for all legal issues impacting privacy, information security, confidentiality and data integrity.

Kirk is acting President of the International Association of Privacy Professionals.  He serves on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee.  Kirk is also an editorial board member for Peppers & Rogers Inside Privacy "1 to 1 Report" and sits on the Ponemon Institute for Privacy advisory board.  Finally, he is a member of the Information Policy Institute's Advisory Board.

In this episode I ask Kirk to share his views on emerging federal privacy legislation, particularly related to data breach notification laws. We also discuss some of his experiences building privacy consciousness within a Fortune 1000 company. Last I ask Mr. Herath to share his views on emerging technologies and companies that are leaders in providing products and services that bridge privacy policy and data security functions.
