Midwest Cyber Security Alliance Meeting: An Exclusive Q&A With Government Officials
Foley Partner Jennifer Rathburn, member of the firm’s Technology Transactions & Outsourcing Practice, will present at the Midwest Cyber Security Alliance meeting held in the Foley Milwaukee office on May 17, 2018.
As cybersecurity attacks and breaches have evolved in size and scope in recent years beyond what the private sector can effectively manage, the U.S. federal government has taken on a leadership role, in collaboration with businesses and academia, in shaping and enforcing legislation as well as establishing a platform for action and response.
But what exactly is the government’s role, and how should businesses work with law enforcement and other federal agencies to protect and defend against cyber threats?
Join us at the next Midwest Cyber Security Alliance meeting for a rare and exclusive Q&A with officials from various government and law enforcement components within the Justice Department, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section of the Criminal Division, and the United States Attorney’s Office. Topics to be addressed include:
- Seeking government assistance with data incidents
- Protecting your business’s intellectual property
- Working with federal agents and prosecutors, and how their roles differ
The rest of the discussion is up to you – bring the questions you’ve always wanted to ask a government insider!
