Cyber Security: The Corporate Counsel’s Agenda


Product Code - LGN74
Speaker(s): Harriet P. Pearson, Hogan Lovells US LLP; Thomas J. Hibarger, Stroz Friedberg;Tom Kellermann, Trend Micro
Add To Cart
Cyber security and data protection are top-of-mind concerns for corporate counsel, according to an August 2012 survey of 1,957 general counsel and 11,340 corporate directors. The complex and dynamic nature of these issues makes it challenging for lawyers to maintain the accurate “big picture” view needed to guide organizational risk strategies.

This program will provide a current and cutting-edge view of the latest technology and cyber crime developments; the practical implications for business of existing laws, regulation, and enforcement initiatives; the post-election outlook for cyber security legislation, regulation and standards; and what in-house counsel should be doing – right now – to guide organizational cyber security efforts.

The faculty consists of seasoned leaders in technology, forensics, incident response, law enforcement interactions, compliance, and public policy.

Educational Objectives:

• Understand the current view of the cyber crime/cyber attack landscape.
• Find out about the key policy matters currently at issue on Capitol Hill.
• Gain an understanding of the legislative and regulatory outlook following the November election (for example, the Executive Order widely expected to be issued by President Obama before years’ end).
• Learn practical measures in-house counsel should be taking now and top legal issues of which they should be aware.

Who would benefit from attending the program?

General counsel; deputy general counsel with cyber security responsibility (e.g. to support I.T. , to counsel on security and privacy compliance, to prepare public company filings); other in-house counsel; chief information security officers (how to work with, and engage, the in-house counsel).

Program Level: Intermediate.

Credit Available: CLE. For more information, please click on the “CLE Credit” tab.
