Taft partners Scot Ganow and Suzanne Sumner will present “The U.S. Government’s Cybersecurity Guidance and Requirements: Why All Businesses Should Take Note,” a webinar hosted by Lexology on Oct. 28. They will discuss the importance of all businesses, not just the public sector, responding to the new cybersecurity guidelines issued earlier this year by the current administration to minimize risk and legal liability. In addition, they will discuss why dismissing the administration’s cybersecurity framework and approach could result in companies missing out on significant business opportunities. To learn more about the webinar and to register, click here.
