Michael Schmidt, vice chair of Cozen O'Connor's Labor & Employment department, will be speaking at this event in New York City. He will be speaking on a panel called "Current Developments and Strategies for Confronting Cyber and Data Security Risks in 2017." Outside and in-house counsel continue to be faced with a myriad of threats caused by external cyber attackers and internal employee use of technology. Whether large or small, companies in all sectors – and particularly in the health care, financial services, and retail industries – need to identify the potential risks and create action plans to aggressively prevent cyber-attacks and data breaches, and mitigate exposure when they occur.
