2025 Cybersecurity Law Update

Rapid advancements in technology provide tremendous opportunities but also carry significant risks to the mission-critical operations of colleges and universities. The vast amount of student, patient, and research data make higher education institutions increasingly attractive targets for criminals and bad actors, who are constantly improving their capabilities to carry out acts of intrusion, theft, and disruption. The ensuing security and data breaches carry significant legal and reputational risk for institutions. However, the preventive measures required to stay one step ahead of the bad actors and to comply with the expanding patchwork of data security and privacy laws and regulations carry notable costs and nuanced considerations of their own. In light of these substantial risks and evolving threat landscape, counsel must remain informed on the current state of cybersecurity law. 

Please join us for this two-hour webinar featuring expert presenters with deep knowledge and practical experience in the cybersecurity issues impacting higher education. The webinar will include: 

  • Overview of the current cyber threat landscape, including high-profile incidents and enforcement; 

  • Overview of the cybersecurity compliance framework, including new and emerging laws and regulations;  

  • Discussion of privilege considerations in cyber threat responses, investigations, and post-incident analysis; and 

  • Consideration of several practical cybersecurity challenges for higher education institutions including the top stressors and challenges for IT personnel and resources, as well as emerging trends and considerations in procurement, contracting, and cyber insurance. 

Who Should Attend? 

This webinar will be of interest to college and university counsel who advise on cybersecurity, data security, and/or compliance issues, as well as campus administrators with responsibilities in those areas such as compliance officers, procurement officers, risk managers, and IT and technology leaders.
