ABA - The NIST Cybersecurity Framework

Event | 03.10.14, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

On February 12, 2014, NIST released the final Cybersecurity Framework developed in accordance with Executive Order 13636, "Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity." The Executive Order called upon NIST to collaborate with industry to develop a voluntary risk-based cybersecurity framework that is "prioritized, flexible, repeatable, performance-based and cost effective." The February release comes after a multi-step development process during which NIST issued multiple drafts of the Framework, held five discussion workshops, participated in numerous informal feedback sessions, and reviewed over 200 public comments received in response to an October 29 Preliminary Draft Framework.

The panel discussion examines the most recent iteration of the Framework, including: 

  • The key themes and concerns raised by industry stakeholders during the public comment process, and whether and how NIST addressed industry’s comments and concerns in the final version. 
  • Specific concerns regarding implementation of the Framework. 
  • Suggestions for continued integration of new standards, guidelines, and practices as they become available. 
  • Predictions for the path forward after February Release of the Framework

Evan Wolff is one of the panelists at this event.

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today: In 1997, the California Supreme Court decided Buss v. Superior Court. In Buss, the court concluded that a liability insurer that defended a mixed action could seek reimbursement from the insured for the defense costs associated with the claims that were not even potentially covered. Since then, numerous courts have held that insurers are entitled to recoup their defense costs associated with uncovered claims or causes of action. On the other hand, a significant number of courts have rejected insurers’ right to recoupment, at least in the absence of a policy provision granting the insurer that right. Some commentators have even suggested that the current judicial trend might be away from permitting insurers to recoup their defense costs. Is that correct? Has the Buss stopped? This panel of coverage experts will analyze insurers’ claimed right to recoupment today, and offer their perspectives on what the law on recoupment should perhaps be and might be in the future.
