🔐 We are pleased to support Cybersecurity Awareness Month as a champion for the 10th consecutive year. 2024 highlights the evolving cybersecurity landscape, with AI as both a defense and a threat.

At the same time, regulatory scrutiny is at an all-time high, with global regulators imposing significant actions and new guidance, emphasizing the importance of cybersecurity awareness. Throughout this month, we will offer a series of virtual events and legal updates focused on the most pressing cybersecurity challenges. These sessions will explore recent developments, discuss strategies for mitigating emerging threats, and facilitate dialogue with leaders on the legal front.
