Key Risk & Regulatory Compliance Considerations on AI and Digital Assets

SEC’s Dodd-Frank Whistleblower Program continued to break records in FY 2022.  The Office of the Whistleblower (“OWB”) received over 12,300 whistleblower tips, the highest in any year since the SEC established the whistleblower program in 2011, from all over the world and the United States.  The SEC issued awards totaling over $229 million to over 100 whistleblowers in FY 2022, closely following the prior year’s record-high numbers.  FY 2022 also saw over 760 enforcement actions brought by the SEC, through which the SEC sought the highest amount of monetary penalties in several years.  Together with uncertainties in the markets and complex regulatory environments, these trends create the perfect storm for keeping in-house counsel and compliance professionals up at night.
 
Securities Docket is pleased to present its eleventh annual webcast on Dodd-Frank’s whistleblower provisions. This year’s panelists once again include leading practitioners in all aspects of Dodd-Frank whistleblower litigation and investigations, including F. Joseph Warin, John W.F. Chesley, Molly Senger, and Nicole Lee of Gibson Dunn, former SEC Office of the Whistleblower Chief Sean X. McKessy of Phillips & Cohen, and Jim Barratt of AlixPartners.
 
This free, 90-minute webcast will include a dynamic and participatory discussion on the statutory and regulatory framework of Dodd-Frank’s whistleblower provisions, their interpretation by the SEC Office of the Whistleblower and federal courts, and provide participants with practical tips for navigating the minefield of whistleblower complaints.

SEC Enforcement: A Look Back at 2022, and What to Expect in 2023

An investment strategy should consider national security concerns, especially when they include non-U.S. entities, partners, or investors. Investment opportunities into foreign economies have never been more prevalent. More and more governments are establishing and/or expanding their oversight and regulatory authority over these transactions, motivated by geopolitical considerations, concerns for national security, and protecting their own economical and cultural self-interests. Regardless of industry, an investment strategy should be closely reviewed with a national security lens and align with regulator expectations. With today’s ever-changing geopolitical climate, governments and regulators have given increased scrutiny to foreign investments that involve emerging and critical technologies, critical infrastructure, and personal data.  Understanding the shared regulatory trends, as well as unique considerations of each regime, has become critical for those engaged in international trade, investment, and mergers and acquisitions.   
 
This program will feature the below speakers having an interactive discussion of these issues, looking at the trends that have emerged in 2022, identifying anticipated changes and focuses in regulatory reviews from both CFIUS and Non-US FDI Regimes, and providing insight and proactive suggestions on how companies should approach investments in 2023 to mitigate risk and comply with regulation oversight.

CFIUS and Non-US FDI Regimes – A 2022 Lookback and 2023 Outlook

Economic downturns have historically driven an increase in insider threat issues and digital asset risks. Recent Whistleblower issues concerning cyber risks have forced firms to look inwardly in new ways to mitigate security weaknesses.  Organizations need a new playbook to prepare following the post-Covid digital footprint expansion and new considerations on materiality and regulatory guidance.
 
Recent corporate turmoil has shown that cyber and digital asset risk, combined with the human element, are critical to managing material risk issues.  Organizations can no longer rely solely on dated technologies like data loss prevention (DLP) and basic access controls to prevent theft, breach of duties, or fiduciary concerns.  Join cyber and privacy risk experts Andrew Pak from Perkins Coie and Luke Tenery from StoneTurn for an insightful discussion on insider threat and whistleblower considerations for risk and legal managers for the digital enterprise.  Key discussion topics will include insider threat cyber readiness, how insiders are creating weaknesses, and whistle blower obligations in the digital enterprise.

Cyber Risk: Insider Threat and Whistleblower Risk Management

The cross-roads between technology and law are becoming more evident through the unfortunate surge of data breaches, ransomware and data exfiltration events that are tied to trade secret, IP and executive level strategy theft year over year. Companies and individuals are being targeted by sophisticated, well-funded hacker and cyber terrorism groups seeking to exploit or extract sensitive and valuable information, while simultaneously, insider threats that are monetizing this material for personal gain are also on the rise. 

As opposed to more common data breach matters, which are often executed without consideration for the particular target, these types of incidents arise from specific targeting for specific goals – for example, to view non-public financial information for insider trading, or to steal trade secrets. These incidents require sophisticated and deep investigation across a broad swath of an organization’s systems and data repositories and can often lead to regulatory, litigation or other counter-offensive measures. Unfortunately, these forms of targeted incidents are becoming common events across all industries regardless of company size.

Please join us for this free webcast in which our panel will address these topics and other developments in the digital assets industry, as well as your questions.

“Sustainable” Private Equity: An In-Depth Look at ESG Trends and Challenges

StoneTurn Partner Luke Tenery and Skadden Partner Bill Ridgway will discuss the five key cyber (security) issues impacting the 2022 corporate legal landscape, including:

--Expanded enforcement and/or regulator guidance from multiple agencies keeps security and compliance teams on their toes: The FTC, SEC, DoL, and NY State all had new guidance and some of these could probably be bifurcated to identify common themes, including security testing obligations, heightened security standards, board oversight, prompt and detailed reporting of incidents, and scrutiny of ransomware payments and public statements about incidents.  We will discuss updates and common themes to regulator guidance to considerations , the recent expansion of reporting obligations (SEC financial reporting, etc.) if an incident has occurred.
--Regulator investigations:  We will discuss activities in anticipation of regulator inquiries, audits, or subpoenas, and tactics for handling such inquiries.
--Remediation in the Spotlight: Increasingly stakeholders and regulators keep watch to the key steps performed by organizations that were compromised.  We will discuss what constitutes meaningful remediation, and making sure lessons learned are implemented.
--Ransomware still a driving factor:  A discussion around the pitfalls, TA end goals, impact, and outcomes
--Targeted Intelligence is a growing trend to navigate the complexities and uncertainties in corporate investigations and response:  What are the real time visibility and client issues (knowing the TA IOCs is no longer sufficient, social media for insider issues, etc.)

When a cloud security incident affects victim organizations, they often do not know the key questions to ask or the optimal steps to take in order to investigate or begin to remediate.  With the intricacies of cloud environments, their ephemerality, logging retention, and a host of other issues, it can be difficult to know what their first moves should be.

The Compliance Landscape in Brazil:New Forms of Fraud, Corruption & Other Crimes

Today, there is far less of a chance of finding the ‘smoking email’ in an investigation into accounting fraud, corruption, trade secret theft, or other matters..  Even before COVID forced us into a disjointed environment where the lines between work and personal lives blurred, technology has evolved to multiple channels of communication between friends, co-workers and other stakeholders. 

Identifying the parties involved in potentially nefarious activities requires looking at investigations through the lens of modern communication. This includes corporate-based messaging platforms like Slack and Teams, SMS, text apps, and many other data sources which provide the potential treasure trove of virtual information that investigators should evaluate.

Please join panelists Emmanuel Ayuk (ADM) and Veeral Gosalia, Irumire (David) Okhumale, and Alex Semertzides (FTI Consulting) as they address these issues and your questions in this free webcast.
