Overview
Why You Should Attend
Cyber attacks continue to wreak havoc on organizations in every industry sector and every country around the world. Senior management and boards of directors alike rank this issue to be of the highest concern – and for good reason. From governments to financial institutions to health care entities, cyber criminals have made it clear that no entity is immune. Particularly with attacks on the supply chain and ubiquitous service providers, every organization is vulnerable. In today’s interconnected world, cybercrime targets go beyond those that maintain personal information; many entities have been targets due to the confidential business information they hold. Media reports of the staggering number of increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks attest to an upward trend in cybercrime, and the events of the last few years have dwarfed earlier hacking incidents.
At the same time, there has been significant activity by the U.S. government to take measures designed to prevent or mitigate cybersecurity events. The European Union and other international law enforcement authorities and regulators also have taken significant 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 critical for all companies given that every organization may end up in cyber attackers’ crosshairs. Every entity, regardless of size, needs to consider strategies to confront these sophisticated and persistent threats.
