Description: Each day there is a headline grabbing news piece involving another cyber-attack resulting in the theft of digital information (e.g., government classified materials, PII and healthcare records, intellectual property, financial information) or the disruption of government and business functions. Nation-states, terrorists, hacktivists, and cyber-criminals are relentless. Companies are told "it's not a matter of if, but when" they will be attacked. Compounding that, international and U.S. federal and state regulators are stepping in with new requirements, mandating companies in all sectors to address cybersecurity with little, if any, real guidance on how to do so. Despite being a victim of a cyber-attack, a business most likely will still have to defend its actions in claims from government agencies and litigation involving class action and shareholder derivative suits. What to do? In our discussion, we will address, in general, the current cybersecurity, national security, and privacy legal and regulatory landscape, and how organizations can best navigate same to successfully protect their business operations, networks, and sensitive data. Featuring: Kevin Powers (Founder and Director, MS in Cybersecurity Policy & Governance Program, Woods College of Advancing Studies; Assistant Professor of the Practice, Boston College Law School; Assistant Professor of the Practice, Business Law & Society Dept., Carroll School of Management), Pedro Lenza (Author and Visiting Scholar, Boston College Law School), Susan Simone Kang (Director, Graduate Legal Education and International Programs, Boston College Law School).
