For our October Meetup, we will be discussing the recent Equifax data breach. This will be a PHONE ONLY Meetup. No face to face meeting this month.

Our topic: The Equifax data breach is one of the largest in history. According to news reports, the breach occurred because of a failure in patch management -- a failure to implement a publicly available patch to a known security vulnerability for a period of months. We will explore the technical and legal ramifications of the breach. Also, considering that distributing patches will be a huge issue for the Internet of Things and ultimately driverless cars, robots, medical devices, and other network-connected devices, we will discuss what the Equifax breach says about our efforts to secure IoT, autonomous vehicles, medical devices, and other networked devices. We will also explore liability for companies in these fields.

Our speakers: I am in the process of assembling a panel of speakers and will moderate. Stay tuned for updates.

First panelist: Steven Teppler, the founding former Chair of the Internet of Things Committee of the American Bar Association Section of Science & Technology Law. Steven is an attorney with the Abbott Law Group, P.A. in Jacksonville, FL. He leads the firm’s electronic discovery and technology based litigation practice and frequently co-counsels with other attorneys on electronic discovery issues. Steven's practice also includes data breach liability and liability arising from emerging technologies, such as Internet of Things devices and robots.

Second panelist: David Sun, the CEO of SunBlock Systems, is a cyber-security and a digital forensic expert. For the past twenty years, David has investigated and testified in cases involving cyber breaches, thefts of intellectual property and fraud. He has qualified as a technical expert in cases involving network systems, digital data, spoliation and various evidentiary issues involving digital data. David is a practical problem solver, who describes complicated technology in understandable terms. He is also an inventor, who has patented forensic technologies, and he has taught digital forensics courses to college students earning degrees in digital forensics and cyber security.

A dial-in will be provided in the comment section below no later than the evening before the talk.

Slides: For now, no slides are planned.

We hope you can attend the program, and thank you for your interest.
