Schedule of events:

Cybersecurity Threat – Are Mobile Apps and the Internet of Things Gateways to Security Breaches?

10:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.

As businesses grapple with knowing their network environments are likely compromised and employees battle a constant barrage of phishing schemes, cybersecurity challenges continue to mount in intensity and complexity. Organizations react with increased budgets in security and an emphasis on restricting access to critical data by employees and third parties. How are organizations keeping up with the latest trends and expanding vulnerabilities introduced by mobile devices and personal wearables? Panelists will share the main security threats of 2015 with a prediction of challenges for enterprises in 2016. This interactive session will explore security risks such as the Internet of Things, mobile computing, virtual payment systems and ransomware.

Panelists:

·         Kelly Twigger, principal, ESI Attorneys

·         Kelly Volz, senior manager, Ernst & Young, Fraud and Investigation and Dispute Services (FIDS)

·         Jenna McAuley, chief information security officer, Mercer

·         Rachael N. Clark, counsel, Medical Forefronts

·         Mary Ellen Callahan, partner, Jenner & Block

Safe Harbor No More

12:15 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.

What does the future hold once safe harbor is no longer pertinent? Is there a new norm for the transfer of data? What are the guidelines related to PII (personally identifiable information)?

Now that Europe’s top court has declared the EU-U.S. data agreement invalid, thousands of U.S. companies will need to change the way they treat the personal data of customers and employees. This panel will discuss practical considerations for cross-border data exchange among the Americas, EMEA, EU, and Asia-Pacific.

Panelists:

·         Jo Sherman, founder and CEO, EDT Software

·         Amie Taal, vice president, Group Incident & Investigation Management, Deutsche Bank
