Third-party cyber risk refers to the potential vulnerabilities and threats that arise from external entities. Fourth-party cyber risk, on the other hand, goes a step further. It refers to the potential risks that arise from the extended supply chain, involving the subcontractors or other indirect entities that have access to an organization's data through primary third-party relationships. Join this session as our experts discuss the need for organizations to assess and manage the security of their entire ecosystem of relationships and explore how best to protect against the vulnerabilities of interconnected parties.

As the digital landscape evolves, it is essential for organizations to stay ahead of the curve and effectively address cyber risks to protect sensitive information and maintain regulatory compliance.

Our panelists will share insights into the evolving expectations of the SEC, discuss compliance processes that should be implemented and identify best practices to improve incident response and reporting.

Generative AI has taken the legal world by storm in recent months and with its capabilities and sophistication advancing at a rapid pace, many are wondering how this powerful tool can be applied to the legal profession.

In the latest installment of this popular series, Zach McGee discusses the now infamous “ChatGPT lawyers sanctions” case where a New York federal district judge sanctioned two lawyers and their law firm under Rule 11 for submitting a brief that cited to six federal court decisions that did not in fact exist. In a case of seemingly first impression, ChatGPT had made up these cases out of whole cloth, and the lawyers failed to do any independent verification of those cases before filing their brief. This fascinating case is a cautionary tale for any lawyer who is tempted to use ChatGPT or other generative AI tools in their legal practice.

In the latest installment of this popular series, Zach McGee discusses Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) and how this technology – particularly Generative AI that can generate content in the form of text, images, video, audio, etc. in response to prompts from a user – is poised to change how knowledge workers, including lawyers, do our jobs. But before you consider using ChatGPT or other Generative AI tools to assist in your law practice, you need to make sure you understand exactly how these tools work, what they can do and what they can’t, how reliable they are or aren’t, and most importantly, what legal ethics issues can arise. This program gives you the knowledge you need to perform that exercise for yourself as Generative AI tools continue to evolve.
