Title: "You Detected a Data Breach: Now What?"
Speaker: Kelcey Patrick-Ferree

Cybersecurity professionals are becoming more and more sophisticated; unfortunately, so are criminals and hostile nation-states. And while companies are becoming more aware of and therefore better at cybersecurity, they are only as strong as their weakest link: the employee who politely holds the door open for a stranger, the employee who clicks on a link in a spear phishing email, the home-grown encryption software someone had to put together because there was no budget for commercial software. It is axiomatic at this point that “it is not if, but when” your company or clients will suffer a data breach. As much as cybersecurity professionals focus on prevention, it is equally important to know what to do after you have discovered that “when” is “today.” We will discuss the laws governing data breaches, the steps you should take in response to a breach, and who should be involved in responding to a breach.
