Originally held onWednesday, October 18, 2017 | 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

 

Program Chair:

Rebecca Hughes Parker, Global Editor-in-Chief, The Cybersecurity Law Report and The Anti-Corruption Report, Acuris

  • In May 2016, the SEC labeled cyber security as the “biggest risk” facing the financial system — since that time, significant data breaches have become increasingly commonplace in both the public and private sectors.   Such breaches can have enormous legal, financial and commercial implications. A breach can crush your client’s financial solvency, commercial brand and compliance profile and – in some cases – may have the potential to impact elections.

    Join us for an informative panel discussion concerning data security risks and best practices for legal and compliance professionals to help mitigate risk.  Learn more about the appropriate affirmative steps you should take on behalf of your corporation, firm or government agency.  Gain insights on how to properly partner with your IT professionals – to ask the right questions about your internal control environment and oversight of suppliers/third parties – to protect your entity and your clients’ data. We will also review the ethical implications raised by law firm data breaches.
