Cybersecurity touches every aspect of consumer and corporate culture today. Preventing, preparing for and responding to data breaches in real time is a chief concern for individuals, corporate leaders and government regulators.
The ACC Foundation, in collaboration with EY, is pleased to present the 2022 State of Cybersecurity Report, An In-house Perspective. Building on the results of the 2015, 2018, and 2020 editions of this survey, this report sheds light on the growing role that legal departments are playing in organization-wide cybersecurity policies and practices.
The data included in the report represents 265 companies in 17 industries and 24 countries around the world, providing a comprehensive understanding of how legal departments in organizations of different sizes engage in cybersecurity matters. The respondents' diversity allows us to learn lessons that can be applied on a global scale to face a threat that is also global in nature.
ESG is top of mind for businesses and, consequently, their counsel. Once a business gets past “what” ESG is, it still is faced with “how” to do it. That is further complicated by an ever-growing patchwork of regulatory frameworks at the international, federal, state and even municipal levels; anti-ESG efforts underway at both the federal and state levels; and a rise in greenwashing enforcement actions and litigation. This presentation will look at what ESG is—including, in particular, intersections with DEI—and what counsel can do to help businesses get through the “what” and “how” of ESG.
Cybersecurity touches every aspect of consumer and corporate culture, and vulnerabilities present grave financial, legal, and reputational risks. Preventing, preparing for, and responding to data breaches in real time are chief concerns in today’s workforce. This conference programming will keep you apprised of the latest threats and innovations through educational sessions with leading subject matter experts. These learning opportunities will complement your broad understanding of cybersecurity strategies and principles, enabling you to become a more well-rounded, focused, and effective practitioner. This conference is geared towards law firms, corporations, and government officials.
The concept of taking up space can sound abstract. The ways in which women are expected to play small are not abstract, however. In our personal and professional life trajectories we adjust and adapt to our environments on the path to our definitions of success. What helps? What hurts? What used to help but now hurts? In this interactive session we will identify barriers to the glass (and bamboo and concrete) ceiling, the challenges to falling off the glass cliff, and concrete strategies on taking up space as wholehearted women. Finally, this session will include some somatic practices we can use as we navigate becoming our best and freest selves.
