Program Description from IAPP:
The US Department of Justice is actively using the False Claims Act to address cybersecurity failures in products and services sold to the federal government. The whistleblower provisions of the act, under which employees and private citizens may share in a portion of the government’s recovery of damages, offer a powerful incentive to sue organizations that fail to comply with their cybersecurity contractual obligations or make misrepresentations to the government about their cybersecurity practices, products, or services. In this IAPP LinkedIn Live webinar, Jim Dempsey, managing director of the IAPP Cybersecurity Law Center, will discuss DOJ’s recent multi-million dollar False Claims Act settlements and the insights they provide on this new source of risk, with Stephanie Siegmann, partner at Hinckley Allen. After serving for more than two decades as a federal prosecutor, including as National Security Chief in the United States Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts, Siegmann brings deep expertise on a wide range of issues at the intersection of cybersecurity, privacy, artificial intelligence and national security.
