The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) Foundation recently completed its second State of Cybersecurity Report, which solicits feedback from hundreds of Chief Legal Officers and other in-house counsel worldwide on a wide range of cybersecurity issues, including cyber insurance, vendor management, and incident response.

Ballard Spahr is pleased to have served as the sponsor for the Report (Ballard also sponsored the first ACC Foundation State of Cybersecurity Report, published in 2016).

While the full results from the Report will not be published until early spring 2018, Ballard partner and Privacy and Data Security Group co-practice leader, Phil Yannella, will participate in a panel discussion previewing some of the key findings at the upcoming ACC Foundation Cybersecurity Summit on February 6, 2018 at American University Washington College of Law in Washington D.C.
