Combating Computer Fraud — Strategies to Protect Your Organization

Computers are the backbone of commerce, used for everything from transacting business over the Internet to storing competitive data locally. Increasingly, computers are at risk from outside intrusions — and from employees, who have inside access to steal identities, re-route data for personal gain, or alter data for fraudulent purposes. Recently, a new tool has emerged in the fight against computer misuse: the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

Please join us for a Foley Executive Briefing Series program that will provide the essential issues involved in electronic evidence and new developments with the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

Issues to be addressed include:

• The basics of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act
• How the act can help protect trade secrets
• How the act can be used to recover damages for the loss of company data
• The practical implications of the act, including how it works with other tools to protect corporate assets

These and other topics will be addressed in an informal, interactive panel session led by Foley Litigation Partners Russell Beck and Stephen D. Riden.
