Adelphi University's Award-Winning Exploring Critical Issues Will Discuss Data Breaches and Privacy

Garden City, NY, May 13, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Exploring Critical Issues, the award-winning televised series conceived and hosted by Adelphi University President Robert A. Scott, continues to bring expert panelists together to discuss important current topics. The latest edition will discuss data breaches and privacy concerns. It will air for two weeks, beginning on Sunday, May 24, 2015 at 10:00 PM.

“Americans are increasingly concerned about their privacy, and many feel they have lost control over how companies use their personal information,” said Adelphi University President Dr. Robert A. Scott. “Privacy is a precious commodity, but we generally treat it lightly. What limits should we learn and take to heart? What can we do to protect ourselves and our systems?”

Joining Dr. Scott to explore this critical issue are John J. Cooney, Esq., chair of cyber security and data privacy, Ruskin Moscou Faltischek, P.C.; Katherine Heaviside, founder and president of EPOCH 5 Public Relations; Kevin Edwards, director of compliance and IT security at Flexible Business Systems; and Mark Grabowski, Esq., assistant professor of communications, Adelphi University.

“Data Breaches and Privacy” airs in New York and Connecticut on Cablevision 29 (Long Island) and 137 (Connecticut and New York area outside of Long Island) and FiOS 296 (New York and Fairfield, CT). It will also stream simultaneously at www.telecaretv.org on the airdates and times as follows:
