Cyber threats aren’t the only dangers keeping CISOs up at night. Legal threats can end careers, drain bank accounts, and even lead to prosecution. Federal authorities are increasingly holding CISOs accountable for cybersecurity failures, breach mismanagement, and misleading disclosures. Even well-intentioned security leaders can find themselves under investigation - especially at a time when the federal government is providing little guidance on AI.

This panel will introduce you to the 17 federal laws that CISOs must fear: Criminal Charges (10 types), including sweeping conspiracy statutes; Civil and Regulatory Enforcement (4); Privacy & Breach Notification Traps (3). Why become a federal case study if you can avoid it? Our legal and cybersecurity experts will walk you through the real-world cases, expose the hidden legal traps, and give you practical strategies to protect yourself from becoming the next high-profile target.
