Navigating Responses to Data Incidents

A data breach is not just an IT problem — it’s a potential for legal crisis that demands immediate, informed action. This program equipped in-house counsel with the tools to lead effective breach response efforts, from effective pre-incident planning, to the moment of discovery, through notification and remediation. Topics included legal obligations under customer contracts and breach notification laws, coordination with IT and incident response teams, preserving privilege, managing communications and preparing for potential litigation or enforcement actions. This session helped in-house lawyers turn chaos into control with real-world scenarios and practical tips, including from a recent senior advisor and deputy chief of staff at the FBI.
