Season 3: The Digital Frontier – Law, AI, and Cyber Defense in 2026

Court is back in session! Join us for Season 3, Episode 1, of our Ask a Lawyer! series.

In 2026, the "future" of digital law has arrived. From the enforcement of the EU AI Act to the 20+ U.S. states that now have comprehensive privacy laws in effect, the legal landscape for cybersecurity and data has never been more complex—or more consequential. As security professionals like those in our SOCs fight back against AI-orchestrated hacking, legal teams are racing to define where liability ends and innovation begins.

In this high-impact panel, our seasoned cyber attorneys will break down the "laws of the land" for 2026, addressing the critical issues keeping CISOs and business owners up at night, including:

•  Agentic AI & Liability: Who is responsible when autonomous AI agents make a "legal" mistake?
• The 2026 Privacy Patchwork: Navigating new requirements in Indiana, Kentucky, Rhode Island, and updated CCPA/GDPR mandates
•  IP in the Age of Generative Media: Latest rulings on AI-generated copyrights and patent protections
•  Synthetic Content & Deepfakes: New transparency laws for digital replicas and synthetic performers
•  The Regulatory Squeeze: Heightened FTC and state-level enforcement on children’s privacy and automated decision-making

This webcast is your direct line to experts who bridge the gap between technical reality and legal risk. Whether you're a network engineer, a business leader, or a compliance officer, you'll walk away with actionable insights to help you stay ahead of the curve in a year defined by rapid regulatory shifts.
