Today, information security breaches are in the headlines. And in the legislatures, Congress and the states are looking to establish new information security practices. Soon, more of these breaches could be in the courts as well, as plaintiffs seek to hold businesses liable for bad security practices. The prospect of liability is becoming a substantial concern for all businesses that own, license, or process personal information and other computer data.
Our speakers are at the forefront of information security issues. They include industry insiders from Morgan Stanley, Verdasys, and Visa U.S.A., and other technology, policy, and legal experts. They will discuss the developing legal framework governing information security as well as how to guard against liability for security breaches and the associated media attention that can seriously affect your organization's image.
