From Security Incident to Legal Crisis: Managing a Data Breach

It can quickly become a legal, regulatory, operational, and reputational crisis, requiring organizations to coordinate technical response, legal obligations, communications, business priorities, and recovery. Often while important decisions need to be made under significant pressure. Join iExperts for an insightful live webinar with Professor Steve Black, Cybersecurity Law Professor, as we take a broad and practical look at managing breach risk across the entire incident lifecycle. What the session will explore: - Preparing for a potential data breach before an incident occurs - Investigation and incident response - Legal and regulatory obligations following a breach - Managing internal and external communications - Coordinating security, legal, privacy, compliance, and business stakeholders - Understanding the wider operational and reputational consequences of an incident - Recovery and lessons learned after the immediate crisis - Making stronger decisions throughout the full lifecycle of a breach Attendees will leave with practical insights for approaching data breach management as an enterprise-wide challenge, rather than simply a technical cybersecurity problem. Who Should Attend: This session will be particularly valuable for cybersecurity professionals, CISOs, legal professionals, privacy teams, GRC and compliance professionals, risk managers, incident response teams, IT leaders, executives, and business decision-makers responsible for managing cyber and data breach risk.

From AI Innovation to AI Governance: A Practical Framework for Secure Adopt
AI adoption is accelerating but can your organization explain how its models make decisions, demonstrate meaningful oversight, and enforce governance throughout the technology lifecycle? Join iExperts for an insightful live webinar: From AI Innovation to AI Governance: A Practical Framework for Secure Adoption AI governance often creates documentation around a model without producing reliable evidence about what is happening inside it. This session introduces CIRCUIT, an open standard designed to make AI governance measurable, auditable and enforceable through three practical components: • A score that boards can understand • A registry that auditors can examine • A control that technology pipelines can enforce During the session, attendees will explore: • The Interpretability Maturity Score • The Circuit Risk Score and its action bands • Realistic interpretability ceilings for different model types • A practical 90-day adoption pathway • How to connect AI innovation with security, accountability and enterprise risk management About the speaker: Eric Zielinski is Chief Information Security Officer at Jumpmind, where he addresses the challenge at the heart of this session: using AI to accelerate security while maintaining accountability when those systems fail.
