Media and security experts focus so much attention on hackers and external threats that companies have a false sense of reality. The more likely threat, and one that could cause damage on a larger scale is the insider — the individual who has been given clearance to enter the building, and access your IT system, products, and customers. This session will highlight why you should have a program to proactively identify and mitigate insider threats. It will focus on developing an awareness of the common types of insider threats; providing an understanding of the security risks posed by insiders to your company and customers; sharing several easy steps for building a program to detect and prevent insider threats; identifying the legal and privacy risks domestically and globally when developing and implementing a program; and discussing the global considerations when developing a program.

In this increasingly connected world, an international cyberattack is no longer a possibility but an inevitability. The difference between success and catastrophe in defending against international cyberattacks comes down to not just preventing them, but responding quickly and appropriately when one does occur. In-house counsel must be prepared to work with internal clients to anticipate potential consequences of an international cyberattack, mitigate the risks of an attack, and implement an agreed strategy that effectively deals with the business and legal risks. This session will give in-house counsel the tools to have constructive conversations with their company's business leaders and technical teams to ensure that their program for dealing with international cyberattacks fits the needs of the company and the customers it serves and addresses the company's legal obligations relating to the attack.
