There has been no shortage of headlines about the devastating impact that ransomware can have on an organization – big or small.
And if you’re a fellow Texan, there’s a good chance you heard about the recent, and massive attack that essentially crippled the city of Dallas.
And yet when it comes to the world of technology, so many leaders, often older, are either aware of or worse, actively dismissive of the potential threats floating in the digital ether.
And so while my guest and I will be looking at cyber security through the lenses of the justice system, I would argue that if you own a small business, or work with technology (so basically anyone), there’s a lot to be learned from today’s conversation.
Daniel Cotter has been working on privacy and cybersecurity issues since 1996, including development of terms and conditions and disclaimers on Fortune 500 websites in the late 1990s.
Over his nearly 3 decades of practicing law, Dan has dealt with complex insurance regulatory issues and transactions, reorganizations of holding company systems and has substantial experience with internal investigations and employment-related issues.
A past President of the Chicago Bar Association and an Adjunct Professor at the John Marshall Law School, Dan is also a prolific author of news and legal articles as well as the book, “The Chief Justices” an in-depth look at the 17 men who sat at the center seat.
Our conversation deals heavily with cyber security and the law, but we also touch on topics ranging from tips for young law students to Supreme Court history.
It was a fascinating conversation and I hope you’ll join us.
Enjoy the show!
