Since the SEC issued new rules stepping up cybersecurity requirements for publicly traded companies in June, legal and security experts have been poring over the language, trying to discern their impact and figure out what their companies will need to do to comply.
A panel of cybersecurity experts, three of them attorneys, will talk about the new rules during a panel at TVNewsCheck’s fifth annual Cybersecurity for Broadcasters Retreat, set to take place Oct. 26 at NAB Show New York.
The panel, How Not to Get Run Over by New Security Regulations, will unfold at 3:30 p.m. ET. Michael Palmer, who was CISO at the NFL before taking the same role at Hearst Corp., will join three attorneys with cybersecurity and financial backgrounds. They are Patrick Turner, SVP and associate general counsel at Paramount Global; David Oliwenstein, partner, Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman; and Ladan Stewart, regional trial counsel for the SEC’s Digital Assets and Cyber Unit.
Moderating the conversation will be Rebecca Hanson, director general of the North American Broadcasters Association.
The impact of the SEC’s new cybersecurity rules has been described as potentially as far reaching as those of the Sarbanes-Oxley, a federal law passed in 2002 to mandate practices in financial record-keeping and reporting for corporations. One new regulation requires publicly traded companies to estimate, within three days, the financial impact of a cybersecurity breach.
“The SEC’s new cybersecurity rules are so new that legal and security experts haven’t yet been able to fully assess how to comply,” said Kathy Haley, co-founder of NewsCheckMedia LLC and founder of the Cybersecurity for Broadcasters Retreat. “In CBR’s How Not to Get Run Over panel, we hope to offer much-needed guidance for company and security leaders.”
Other CBR sessions include a breakfast workshop during which CEOs and security leaders will talk about how best to communicate the balance between business risk and investment in cybersecurity staff and tools.
During “A View from the Trenches: Crisis Management in 2023,” a leading cybersecurity attorney, Luke Dembosky, a partner at Debevoise & Plimpton, will lead attendees through an interactive workshop about trends in security breaches and the way companies are managing their responses.
Security leaders from Comcast will share their AI Threat Library during “Converging Digital Disruptors and the Media Industry” and technology and security leaders from Fox Corp., will talk about their pioneering work Securing IP and Cloud Operations.
Additional CBR 2023 sessions include:
- Securing the Supply Chain
- The Future of Cyber Insurance: Navigating the Complex Digital Landscape
- Creating a Culture of Security
Attendees from media and broadcast technology companies will also once again be able to retreat for an hour to a highly private, large conference room to share their experiences and ask questions during a Private Information Exchange.
