Today’s world of digital transformation requires more than “flipping a switch” as companies find themselves facing an unprecedented level of legal and compliance risk, according to a new blog post by Julie Brill, deputy general counsel at Microsoft Corp. and head of its privacy and regulatory affairs group.

That’s why Brill said Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft released a free new book to guide CEOs and their legal counsel, “Digital Transformation in the Cloud: What Enterprise Leaders and Their Legal and Compliance Advisors Need to Know.” The book was co-authored by Brill, a former Federal Trade Commission commissioner, and Rich Sauer, deputy general counsel in charge of Microsoft’s global corporate and legal affairs team.
