2018: Cybersecurity: Keeping Us Safe or Making Us Vulnerable?
Law & Society Series
Cybersecurity: Keeping Us Safe or Making Us Vulnerable?
Charleston Music Hall
Friday, February 9, 2018
8:30 am – 3:00 pm
At a time when communications and information are vulnerable to monitoring and interception, Americans face a dilemma: How do we protect our privacy and keep ourselves safe? How vulnerable are our government, private citizens and corporations to cyberattacks?
The former director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell was the keynote speaker for this year’s Law and Society symposium. As director of National Intelligence, McConnell managed the expansive U.S. Intelligence Community—an organization of over 100,000 people and an annual global enterprise budget of $47 billion.
Following Admiral McConnell’s keynote, field experts and attorneys participated in three panel discussions examining “National Security, Law Enforcement, and Civil Liberties,” “The Next 9/11: Cyberattacks as Acts of Terrorism,” and “Corporate Cybersecurity: Does Encryption Fully Protect You and Your Clients?”
Our tenth annual Law and Society symposium held in partnership with the Charleston Law Review of the Charleston School of Law explored these questions and the future of cybersecurity. Four CLE credits were available to attorneys who register.
