Navigating Cybersecurity Risks: A Legal Update on Protecting Against Cyber Threats in Canada and the United States

Foley Partner Aaron Tantleff will co-present with Partner James Kosa from Canadian law firm WeirFoulds LLP on how cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated, affecting organizations across industries and jurisdictions and posing greater risks to those who are increasingly dependent on digital technologies.

While the cyber risks faced by organizations are similar regardless of whether located in Canada or the United States, Aaron and James will discuss how the legal obligations, risks, and liabilities differ based upon whether Canadian, U.S., or both sets of laws apply. They will cover topics like how to mitigate the risk of a breach, cross-border considerations, cybersecurity trends in Canada and the United States, and legislative reform.

It is important to understand the differences between cross-border operations and how to respond and comply with one’s obligations. Please join us for this discussion on how Canadian cybersecurity and privacy laws compare to laws in the United States and how to protect against cybersecurity risks.
