DLA Piper invites you to an exclusive, high-impact, interactive workshop focused on cybersecurity risk and resilience in supply chains. The session is designed for leaders with strategic or operational responsibility for cybersecurity and incident response, including those in executive, risk, legal, technology, operations and security roles.

This isn’t just another seminar. It’s an interactive, hands-on, cross-sector experience that combines expert cybersecurity technical and legal insights with the fast-paced dynamics of a simulated live supply chain cyber incident.

 

What’s in it for you?

Gain actionable insights and practical strategies to help your organisation prepare for and respond effectively to supply chains cyber incidents and manage associated operational, legal, regulatory and litigation risks.

 

Key Legal Updates

Our International Cybersecurity & Risk team will be joined by Jamie Smith, Global Head of Cybersecurity Services at S-RM. Attendees will gain actionable insight on:

  • Preparing for cybersecurity incidents and "minimum viable business" solutions
  • News and insights from the frontline of cyber-attacks
  • The evolving legal and compliance threat landscape – including personal liability and real consequences for individuals
  • Common legal and technical pitfalls to avoid during incident response
  • Supply chain considerations
  • Regulatory engagement and investigation following cyber incidents
  • Litigation, claims and class action risk arising from major data breaches

 

The Hackathon Experience

You’ll step into a simulated, real-world cyber incident where your decisions matter. Working alongside peers from across sectors and facilitated by experts from DLA Piper and S-RM, you’ll collaborate in real time to manage a fictional supply chain cyber crisis and make rapid, challenging decisions with incomplete and evolving information and no "good options".

  • Practical takeaways: Leave with strategies and frameworks you can apply immediately
  • Cross-industry collaboration: Learn how peers tackle complex, high-stakes cyber incidents and prepare for attacks
