The FBI Playbook: A Guide to Proactive Defense and Cyber Collaboration (Jul. 7, 2026)
- Registration Closed
If your global organization experienced a cyberattack today, would you know when to contact the FBI—and how they could help?
Cyber incidents can quickly become enterprise-wide crises, spanning operations, regulatory compliance, and business partners across jurisdictions. ACC is bringing experts from the FBI's Cyber Division directly to the in-house legal community—Kristin Grimes, Unit Chief in the Cyber Division's Critical Sector Engagement Intelligence Unit, Brian Kaiser, Supervisory Special Agent in the same unit, and John Graves, VP of Legal at Talogy—for an exclusive, interactive briefing on today's threat landscape.
Designed for in-house lawyers managing legal, regulatory, and business risk, this session covers why a relationship with your local FBI field office strengthens preparedness, when federal engagement is appropriate, how the FBI collaborates during an investigation, and what legal departments should know about AI-enabled cyber threats—wherever your company operates.
This program is live only, with no on-demand recording available. Bring your questions for direct access to FBI Cyber Division experts and actionable insights to help safeguard your company in an increasingly complex global threat environment.
