The discussion will cover several important topics, including:
• Recent data breach trends, including the latest data on ransomware payments
• The latest trends in government enforcement, including False Claims Act litigation, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) enforcement actions, and state attorneys general enforcement actions

Our speakers will leverage their experience in these areas to provide you with the latest trends, as well as practical suggestions for risk mitigation. Do not miss the opportunity to hear from them on these important subjects!
