“Will our cyber insurance policy cover attacks from Russia?”
“Are we legally allowed to pay ransom?”
“What are our reporting requirements in the event of an attack?”
“Is ransomware considered a breach?”

The Russia-Ukraine war has precipitated these and many more legal questions. In this presentation, infosec attorneys and privacy advisors will review cybersecurity legal considerations and offer their insight into best practices in light of this conflict and potential ones in the near future.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the many requirements for breach response and notification.
Appreciate how cyber insurance coverage applies to war.
Demonstrate cybersecurity due care to clients and regulatory bodies, pre- and post-attack.
