Managing cyber threats: Protecting your business, brand and IP

A two-hour breakfast seminar from IP and technology law firm Marks & Clerk on what a business actually has to do before, during and after a cyber incident: data protection duties, contractual liability, regulatory reporting and crisis management. It pairs that with the side most incident plans skip, protecting trade secrets, keeping technical know-how confidential, and monitoring online threats to brand exclusivity and counterfeiting. Arrival and pastries from 09:00, presentation and Q&A 09:30 to 10:30, networking until 11:00, at the firm's Birmingham office on Church Street. Marks & Clerk's specialists in cyber security, IP, data protection and compliance lead the session; no individual speakers are named on the page. Part of Birmingham Tech Week. Why go: it is a rare cyber session aimed at the people who carry the legal consequences, general counsel, CISOs, DPOs, compliance and risk, rather than at the SOC. Best if you own incident response or IP strategy and want the obligations spelled out.
