On October 31, CEO Kurtis Minder was honored to present on the panel, "Hitting the Moving Target: cyber, data privacy and artificial intelligence (AI) compliance and governance," at this year's International Bar Association Annual Conference in Miami, FL. 

During the panel, Kurtis was joined by Andrea Marcon Bocabello of Grupo Fleury in Brazil, Adam Cottini of Crowdstrike, Francisco Müssnich of BMA, and Jan Willem Hoevers of De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek. 

At the start of the panel, Kurtis ran through the beginning stages of a ransomware attack. He covered what happens when you can't access your systems, can't make payroll, and can't get your data. The audience asked questions on ransomware response and negotiation throughout the panel.
