This InfoPAK provides an overview of legal and regulatory considerations businesses should contemplate when developing programs that rely on big data coupled with tools that help apply those legal and regulatory considerations to real world situations.

Can Cyber Insurance Stand in the Data Breach? How to Maximize Coverage in a Buyer’s Market

By Joshua Gold, Duane Holloway, Kevin Kalinich

Bad news hits front pages and TV screens every week: Ever-larger data breaches affect millions of trusted companies' customers. The good news is the buyer’s market for cyber insurance; businesses can shop not only on the basis of price but for policy terms that cover actual risks. Traditional lines of coverage (including crime, property, general liability and directors and officers) can provide coverage when a breach occurs, although new exclusions are pushing more businesses toward specialty policies. In this evolving market, it’s essential to analyze existing coverage and terms offered in competing cyber policies. This session will spotlight key policy provisions to demand and others to avoid. The panelists will view cyber insurance in the risk management context, including prevention and post-breach planning. They will outline an approach to cyber security equally focused on human factors: building staff awareness and the right protocols.

Legal Jeopardy: Whose Risk Is It?

By Michael Miller, Jason Straight

The Gullible Assistant. The Careless Vendor. The Imperious Boss. The Road Warrior. The Absent-Minded Executive. The Social Butterfly. Every organization has horror stories about people who bypass, ignore, forget or blatantly run roughshod over IT security policies and procedures. While trying to find the right balance between security and employee accessibility, IT sometimes exposes the organization to elevated risk. Before you know it, it’s legal’s problem. This “Family Feud” style session will test the audience’s knowledge of potential cyber risks and possible solutions to manage each scenario. Key takeaways will include strategies and tactics for mitigating threats from “the Human Element,” improving security without constricting access or employee flexibility and running a tighter ship without negatively impacting the workplace culture or environment.
