As the number of cyber-attacks against the private sector increase, business manager and lawyers need to be concerned about litigation following such attacks. Some cases may be dismissed, but increasingly companies must take responsibility for protecting their own and their client’s data and the national security interests of the nation.

In 2014, there was a series of spectacular attacks involving very sophisticated techniques to infiltrate networks with Denial of Service and other attacks.  Smaller nations and new terrorist and crime groups will become even more active.

As cyber-crimes increase in the public and the private sectors, lawyers are expected not just to offer insights into mitigate the risks, but also to provide Best Practices in Dealing with Post Cyber Attack Litigation Risk. In this two-hour,  LIVE CLE webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders, assembled by The Knowledge Group, will help firms and their counsel to understand how to mitigate the risks of litigation in the aftermath of cyber-attacks.
