You Survived a Security Incident: Can You Survive The Lawyers?

Platinum 1

Congratulations! You have successfully recovered from a cybersecurity incident. Systems are restored, data is available, and business operations are functioning at full capacity. Here come the lawyers...

All too often, an organization that survives a security incident will find itself the defendant in a lawsuit. Matt will explore what triggers these lawsuits, the factors that lead to success in the courtroom, and how organizations can proactively position themselves for victory. He will discuss how we can manage risk using a duty of care framework, why it is important to understand the nature of negligence, and how to operationalize an effective risk management program so we can survive not only the cybersecurity incident, but the legal repercussions that follow.
