ADCG on Privacy & Cybersecurity

This week we are honored to have Rob Shavell, CEO and Co-Founder of DeleteMe, join us to discuss the threat of publicly available PII to individuals and companies, the types of threats they are encountering, the need for companies to protect executives and employees, and how individuals and organizations can address these issues, using both technological and legal/policy approaches. Rob is a privacy expert who has been quoted in The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, The Telegraph, NPR, ABC, NBC, and Fox. Rob is a vocal proponent of privacy legislation reform, including the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

This week we are joined by Mark Rasch, Adjunct Professor at George Washington University Law School and former DOJ prosecutor of cybercrimes, to discuss the DOJ's recent change to its policy for charging good faith security research cases under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. We explore the types of actions that fall within the new policy and those that do not and linkages to the Register of Copyrights definition of “good faith research.” In addition, the episode weaves in a discussion of the recent Ninth Circuit opinion in HiQ v. LinkedIn and Supreme Court decision in Van Buren v. U.S.

This week we are joined by Leslie Lamb, Director of Global Risk Management for Flex, Inc. and former Head of Global Risk & Resiliency Management for Cisco. We discuss the current cyber insurance market, getting boards and C-suites engaged, working across the organization and with CISOs and CPOs, and developing a cyber resiliency plan.

This week we have Violet Sullivan, Vice President of Client Development for Redpoint Cybersecurity, as our guest to discuss incident response, gaps that are costly, using external resources, bottlenecks that can take time, interacting with vendors, and successful approaches to tabletops. Violet also serves as a professor of Cybersecurity & Privacy Law for Baylor Law School’s LLM program where she focuses on litigation management. On the podcast, she offers tips on incident response that can help organizations manage future litigation related to the incident.

This week, we are joined by three cybercrime experts, John Bandler, Scott Giordano, and John Bates, to discuss how the FBI is obtaining court orders to enter companies' computers and seize harmful malware — and take other actions — in a new approach to countering cybercrime. The FBI’s Cyber Division coordinated with the UK and private companies to disrupt a two-tiered global botnet of infected devices controlled by a cybercriminal aligned with the Russian Intelligence Unit GRU. This episode’s guests are: John Bandler, Founder, Bandler Law Firm PLLC John G. Bates, Manager, Ernst & Young LLP, Cybersecurity Scott M. Giordano, V.P., Corporate Privacy, and General Counsel
