PLI’s 27th Annual Institute on Privacy and Cybersecurity Law

Freshfields’ partners Brock Dahl and Megan Kayo will be presenting at the upcoming Twenty-Seventh Annual Institute on Privacy and Cybersecurity Law. They will be speaking on a panel titled “Global Data Breach: The Cybersecurity Risks Aren’t Hypothetical” which will take participants through a complex hypothetical cybersecurity attack.

The session will focus on managing an intrusion, starting with the initial identification of an incident followed by a series of events that lead the organization to determine that a widespread cyberattack has occurred. The incident will unfold from there, as the panel walks through the gamut of incident response activities, from assembly of the incident respond team to negotiation with the threat actor to remediation and breach notification.

Data privacy and cybersecurity issues have become mission-critical C-Suite issues because they directly affect a company’s strategy, legal compliance obligations, financial health, and reputation. Data has become one of the most valuable assets for private and public sector organizations alike. The Internet, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, biometrics, and other transformative technologies employ powerful tools to collect, combine, analyze, use, store, and dispose of personal information. Questions abound regarding the responsibility that comes with the extraordinary power of data-driven generative AI. These rapidly changing data trends create a breathtaking range of compliance and liability issues, while raising the stakes for protecting such data in challenging risk environments, whether internal vulnerabilities or criminal cyberattacks or other threats. New laws and obligations are continually emerging from legislators, regulators, and the courts to address the corresponding privacy and cybersecurity implications.

This annual program focuses on the latest developments, along with strategic approaches, to keep attorneys and other privacy and cybersecurity professionals up-to-date and ready to respond effectively in this complex and dynamic area. 

This event will take place at 9:00 AM PT on June 16, 2026.
