Expanded digitization and information sharing in commercial transactions have increased overall vulnerability and exposure to cyber threats. Primary geopolitical risk for companies include retaliatory cyberattacks from foreign actors and vulnerable infrastructure networks.
This webinar will discuss corporate counsel’s expanded role due to the increase in regulatory oversight requirements, such as the SEC Cyber Governance Rule, and cybersecurity attacks on critical networks. Tentative topics include cross-functional team coordination to manage IT security programs, cyber risk assessments and disclosure, effective compliance testing and internal controls, and cyber-related crisis readiness and response.
