Cybersecurity, Liability & Business Preparedness: Understanding your risk, responsibilities and readiness

McDonald Hopkins' Kate Furstenau will be presenting as part of a panel on "Cybersecurity, Liability & Business Preparedness: Understanding your risk, responsibilities and readiness" during this webinar presented by SensCy.

What business leaders need to know about cybersecurity, legal exposure and preparedness.

Cybersecurity isn’t simply an IT issue. A cyber incident can quickly become a legal, financial and operational issue — and the decisions your business makes before an incident can have a significant impact on what happens after one.

Join McDonald Hopkins Counsel Kate Furstenau and SensCy Chief Strategy Officer David Behen for a practical Cybersecurity Awareness Month discussion about managing cyber risk from both a cybersecurity and legal perspective.

Together, they’ll tackle four important questions every business should be asking:

• What are we responsible for? Understand the regulatory and legal obligations that may apply to your organization — and where responsibility lies when third parties are involved.
• Where could cyber risk enter our business? Learn how vendors, suppliers and other third parties can introduce risk, including some of the ways that exposure can be difficult to see.
• Have we adequately protected the business? Explore how cybersecurity practices, vendor contracts and cyber insurance can work together to help reduce business risk.
• If an incident happened tomorrow, would we know what to do? Understand the importance of incident response planning, leadership preparedness and tabletop exercises before a real event puts them to the test.
