Practising Law Institute’s “Using the SAFETY Act to Demonstrate ‘Reasonable’ Cybersecurity Plans to Regulators” Webinar

As more states impose cybersecurity obligations on businesses, companies are facing the increasingly difficult task of trying to demonstrate that their security programs and policies are “reasonable." Compounding that challenge is the fact that regulators often provide little to no guidance on what exactly would constitute a “reasonable” or otherwise appropriate cybersecurity program.

During the webinar, Brian and Cassie will explain:

• What types of cybersecurity programs and policies are eligible for review under the SAFETY Act;
• Examples of cybersecurity and privacy regulations that mandate specific cybersecurity measures be taken; and
• How the SAFETY Act can be used to demonstrate compliance with regulations such as the New York Department of Financial Services cybersecurity regulation, the New York SHIELD Act, and the California Consumer Privacy Act.
