WASHINGTON, Sept. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 600 professionals will attend the second annual Privacy+Security Forum on the campus of George Washington University for a three-day event that will cover the gamut of data security and privacy matters facing companies, governments and individuals, Tom Hay of HB Litigation Conferences, the event organizer, said today.
