Events

As part of Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine’s CyberOhio Initiative, Kegler Brown will host Anil Patel and Jessica Stall of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office to discuss common data security issues facing mid-market and small Ohio businesses, along with practical steps for moving forward.

Data breaches are not limited to large corporations like Equifax, Anthem, and Target. Many cyber-attacks target small businesses, and these can have devastating effects.

The discussion will focus on practical steps for identifying risk, educating employees, and planning ahead, and will include an overview of data security best practices, real-world examples, and guidance on issues of compliance and data breach response.
