Dr. Gaycken will discuss how he is a strong advocate of disruptive innovation and regulation in IT security. Dr. Gaycken will be joined by Prof. Russell Miller, Professor of Law at the Washington and Lee University School of Law in Virginia, whose teaching and research focuses on comparative law with an emphasis on German law and legal culture.
