Wiley’s Megan Brown and Lyn Brown to Speak at RSA Cybersecurity Conference

Washington, DC – Megan L. Brown, co-chair of Wiley’s Privacy, Cyber & Data Governance Practice, and Jacqueline F. “Lyn” Brown, of counsel in the practice, will present at this week’s RSA Conference (RSAC) in San Francisco – one of the world’s leading cybersecurity conferences. They will speak on a May 6 panel about lessons learned from cyberattacks that disrupted the global supply chain last summer.

The discussion will also focus on complications associated with investigating and responding to multi-cloud environment compromises, and will explore implications for data security, data governance, contracting, communications, cyber incident reporting, and potential legal exposure.

Megan Brown and Lyn Brown will be joined on the panel by Jennifer Burnside, Practice Leader for Cyber Crisis Communications at Mandiant, and Erin Joe, Cybersecurity Executive at Google Cloud.

“This important conversation will focus on how to strengthen resiliency as businesses throughout the supply chain face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats,” Megan Brown said. “We look forward to connecting with some of the greatest innovators in this sector as part of the world-renowned RSA Conference.”

RSAC is a four-day conference that brings together thousands of professionals, practitioners, vendors, and associations to discuss issues covering the entire spectrum of cybersecurity. Many of the world’s top cybersecurity, government, and business leaders converge at the annual event to formulate best strategies to address current and future cyber risks.
