Overview

Why you should attend

In today’s interconnected world, cyber attacks are wreaking havoc on organizations around the globe. No entity is immune, and cybercrime targets are found in every industry sector from retail to banking to government. Media reports of the staggering number of increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks attest to this trend, and more recent events have dwarfed earlier hacking incidents.

In February, the Obama Administration finalized a key initiative to craft, pursuant to an Executive Order, a Cybersecurity Framework aimed at helping U.S. critical infrastructure owners and operators prepare to tackle cyber threats. Since the Executive Order was issued in early 2013, there has been significant activity by the government to take measures designed to prevent or mitigate cybersecurity events. The European Union also has taken action to respond to the serious threat posed by cyber criminals.

To keep up with the rapidly evolving legal landscape in this field, companies need to be informed not only about the risks they face, but also about policy pronouncements and legislation that could affect how they do business. A thorough understanding of this area is particularly important for companies that have not previously been in cyberattackers’ crosshairs and need to consider strategies to confront these sophisticated and persistent threats.

The multiple challenges posed by cybersecurity issues demand an interdisciplinary approach. Please join us for a robust discussion of the future of cybersecurity with leading experts in the field including law enforcement authorities, Chief Information Security Officers, cybersecurity lawyers, forensic technologists and scholars.
