“In-house counsel and law firms play an integral role in preventing, preparing for, and responding to a cyber incident and this Summit aims to provide them with the specific information they need,” said Jennifer Chen, ACC Foundation executive director. “Summit speakers made it perfectly clear that the threats posed by cyber criminals are only intensifying in scope and innovation, and that we must all remain vigilant in staying as up-to-date and prepared as possible. This of course included a greater focus on the current and future impacts of artificial intelligence. I am incredibly grateful to everyone involved for so graciously giving their time and expertise to help their peers in the legal community.”
