A detailed walkthrough of the key components of an incident response plan, followed by an interactive luncheon workshop for a sample breach/response scenario
A look at the legal and ethical implications of AI and other emerging technology

Assessing Your Privacy Law Risk: What Does Reasonable Security Actually Mean?

All of the recently enacted and effective state consumer data privacy laws require that covered businesses implement a “reasonable” security program. Likewise, covered businesses are required to include clauses in their agreements with service providers, contractors and other third parties that impose a duty to protect disclosed personal data with “reasonable” security. Learn from a regulator, an in-house general counsel and an outside privacy counsel what this means and what it looks like and how to do it in your own law firm or company.

To Pay or Not to Pay: Issues and Considerations for a Ransomware Response

Ransomware attacks continue to plague companies and organizations. What factors should be considered as part of your response? Who, inside and outside your organization, should be at the table making those decisions? How has the ransomware landscape evolved that can impact the decision on whether to pay or not? The decision on whether to pay a ransomware or cyber extortion demand can be complex, dynamic, and highly circumstance specific.
