McKenna Co-Chairs Cyber Security Seminar: …”Approaches For Public/Private Collaboration…”

Jim Boldt   December 2, 2014  

 

Over a hundred years ago Wells Fargo added armed riders to accompany their stage coaches carrying large sums of cash between banks. They didn’t stop using stage coaches, they beefed up the security. The same goes for today.

 

We are past the abort stage of use of the Internet and cyber information gathering and using. We’ve created a vital monster. We need to gear up and stay current with the criminal side of the commodity. Information not a commodity? Look again. Read any app or financial institution “agreement” statement and you will long for the old days of print, paper, and carefully kept SS numbers. Anyway, want to stay current?

 

Live Seminar: “Sometimes you just have to be in the same room.”
Cybersecurity Law
January 12 & 13, 2015
Seattle, WA (Washington State Convention Center)

My Co-chair, Tyson Storch, Microsoft Corporation, and I hope you will join us on January 12th &13th, 2015, at the Washington State Convention Center, Seattle, WA, for the Second Annual gathering of the country’s top cyber security professionals.
This year promises to be more important than ever, as cyber attacks continue to be maliciously launched around the globe. You will learn about:

  • Trends in government regulatory policies towards eHealth services, particularly with respect to privacy issues for patients including the FDA’s draft cyber security guidance for medical device premarket submissions.
  • The NIST Draft Cyber Security Framework: Best working approaches for public/private collaboration for integrating cyber security policies and investments into risk management.
  • Issues arising from the inherent tension between monitoring Internet activity for cyber security and civil liberties.
  • Tips for targets: Establishing an effective digital crimes unit; what to do in the first moments after discovery of an attack.
  • Consultant, vendor and customer perspectives on how organizations (from financial institutions to law firms) should upgrade their approach to risk management.
  • Lessons from recent cases involving data security breaches.
  • Tips for establishing the right balance between communicating with the press/public to re-build trust in the event of a breach without increasing legal liability.

Sign up soon to join us in person or via live webcast.  I hope to see you there! If you have any questions, please call me directly or send an email.
