The Log4j Vulnerability: What You Need to Know to Protect Your Business
Webinar | 12.17.21, 7:00 AM EST - 8:00 AM EST
Please join us for a panel on the Log4j Vulnerability and what you need to know to protect your business.
What happened?
Over the past week, a remote code execution vulnerability in a very popular logging library, known as Log4j, started a race against the clock as security teams scramble to patch or remediate the vulnerability. At the same time, threat actors are actively scanning the globe for vulnerable systems and developing exploits. Found in Apache – a free, open source, and reliable web server framework that likely powers over two-thirds of the Internet’s web servers – Log4j allows application developers to keep track of what is happening on Internet-enabled applications. The ubiquity of Log4j itself is a problem. Combined with the fact that all an attacker must do to run remote, untrusted code on a third-party system is send a string of letters and numbers that Log4j processes, there is great potential for this vulnerability to cause widespread disruption.
What do you need to know now?
Our expert panel will address:
- The current state of the vulnerability and implications;
- Threat actor exploitation and current activities;
- Strategies for management third party and vendor risk;
- Approaches for remediating and patch management issues of the Log4j vulnerability.

Rethinking "the Administrative State" - Takeaways From the Supreme Court's 2025–26 Term
The Supreme Court's 2025–26 term took up several momentous cases that will influence and, in key respects, reorient constitutional separation-of-powers principles moving forward. Join the D.C. Bar Administrative Law and Agency Practice Community for a discussion of the key takeaways from the Supreme Court's 2025-26 term. This panel will examine decisions addressing the scope of executive branch authority, including cases involving tariffs issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the removal of leaders of so-called independent agencies. The discussion will also address significant orders issued on the Court's emergency docket and what these decisions and orders signal about the distinct roles the three branches of federal government play in shaping the administrative state.
