SANS Free Webcast, Wednesday, April 23 at 1pm EDT (1700 UTC)
Legal Liability For Information Security: Ask the Experts

A few weeks ago SANS broadcast our first web briefing on this
topic. More than three thousand people signed up and their near
universal response was, "More, Please!"

SANS is happy to bring you a complimentary webcast on Wednesday,
April 23rd at 1pm EST (1800 UTC) entitled Legal Liability
for Information Security: Ask the Experts. Register at
http://www.sans.org/webcasts/042303.php

For years, security professionals have claimed that "one day people
will be held liable for weak security." That day may have arrived,
with class action lawsuits, and HIPAA, and California's new disclosure
law and more.

On Wednesday, April 23, three of the nation's top experts on civil
liability for cyber crime will be online to provide a brief overview
of important cases and trends and to answer your questions:

Marc J. Zwillinger, Chair of the Information Security & Anti-Piracy
Practice Group at Sonnenschein Nath and Rosenthal

Gregory P. Schaffer, Director of Cybercrime Prevention & Response
for PricewaterhouseCoopers

Orin Kerr, Professor of Law at George Washington University

The experts will first provide an overview of new developments that are
reshaping the legal landscape in the area of cyber liability. Then you
can ask questions on the topics they discussed or any others that you
feel are related. In addition, Hal Pomeranz of the Center for Internet
Security will give you an update on the newest Gold Standards for safe
configuration agreed to by the US government and industrial leaders,
and the legal experts will discuss their potential applicability in
limiting liability. As well as Charles Woods, Independent Information
Security Consultant & Researcher, InfoSecurity Infrastructure, Inc.
will be discussing Clarifying Responsibility For Information Security.
