Corporate Counsel Litigation Forum: Liability Trends in Cybersecurity and Data Privacy

Webinar | 02.24.15, 9:00 AM EST - 10:00 AM EST

Every business is potentially vulnerable to a cyber attack or data breach.What do you do when you are attacked by an insider or hacked from outside? As the world becomes more “connected,” how do you protect yourself from attempts to access the personal information that you hold or disrupt your services or even attempts to take virtual control of connected devices? As businesses compete in an electronic world where marketing has moved from flyers and pamphlets to “robo calls” and direct text messages, how is it possible for a legitimate business to be liable for tens of thousands of illegal telemarketing calls to consumers?

This webinar will address current developments in the realms of cybersecurity and data privacy, focusing on current litigation and regulatory trends. Speakers will discuss the following issues:

  • What are regulators and civil litigants focused on?
  • How to avoid making the headlines.
