In-House Legal’s Guide to GenAI Cyber Risk: Today’s Threats and Practical Next Steps
Event Description
Generative AI is making cyber fraud faster, cheaper, and more believable—fueling everything from highly targeted phishing and business email compromise to deepfake-enabled social engineering. For in-house legal teams, the risk isn’t theoretical: these attacks can trigger real financial loss, confidentiality breaches, customer harm, and contractual fallout. The organizations that stay ahead are treating GenAI as a core input to cyber-risk assessments, vendor oversight, and incident response planning—with Legal playing an active role alongside Security.
Join us on Thursday, January 22, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM PT as Alan M. Winchester, Partner and leader of Harris Beach Murtha’s Cybersecurity Protection and Response practice, walks in-house counsel through the latest GenAI-enabled tactics bad actors are using right now—featuring live-style demonstrations of common “tricks”—and the practical actions Legal can drive to reduce exposure and protect both the business and its clients.
Key takeaways:
- How GenAI changes the threat model—and what to add (or revise) in your cyber-risk assessment assumptions
- Red flags your legal team should recognize in real time (payment fraud, impersonation, “urgent CEO” requests, deepfake escalation)
- Practical policy and process upgrades Legal can help implement (training, escalation paths, approvals, privileged investigations)
- Contract and vendor-risk provisions that better address AI-enabled fraud and compromised third parties
- How to align Legal, Security, Finance, and Procurement on a response playbook that reduces loss and supports defensibility
Who Should Attend: This program is built for in-house legal professionals who touch cybersecurity, privacy, risk, litigation, compliance, or commercial contracting—especially GCs, AGCs, privacy/cyber counsel, product counsel, and legal ops leaders who support incident response, customer security expectations, and third-party/vendor oversight.
There is NO COST to attend this program!
