“Best Practices to Leading Post-Cyber Incident Forensic Investigations and Understanding Litigation Implications Surrounding Forensic Reports”
Thursday, March 28 | 2:30 pm – 4:40 pm ET | Webinar

Given the proliferation of litigation stemming from cybersecurity incidents, organizations need to understand how legal teams direct forensic investigations in order must ensure forensic reports align with anticipated litigation scenarios. A forensic report is normally prepared by a cybersecurity firm following a thorough investigation into the nature and scope of a company’s cybersecurity incident. A report will generally identify areas in which a company’s IT infrastructure was not compliant with best practices, regulations and/or industry standards, or whether a third-party vendor is responsible for the gap in a company’s IT infrastructure – all evidence that could substantiate future legal claims, either if a company wants to go on the offensive or if the company must defend itself.

Join Colin Jennings, Katy Spicer and Meghan Quinn for this free CLE accredited webinar to better understand how to effectively lead a post-cyber incident forensic investigation and related discovery implications.
