Program Summary
Both the False Claims Act and the Dodd-Frank Whistleblower Program are two of the United States Government's primary methods for rooting out fraud and returning funds to the federal fisc. Over the past fifteen years, the topic of cybersecurity has increasingly made its way to boardrooms of private, not-for-profit, and publicly traded companies alike. Over the past seven years, government initiatives, which include Executive Orders mandating government agencies adopt certain cybersecurity principles and promulgate regulations and the October 2021 U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Cyber Fraud Initiative have opened companies and boards to greater potential liability. These initiatives, coupled with the inclusion of "governance" in NIST and ISO frameworks should cause companies to reevaluate their enterprise risk management and compliance programs, as well as the related technical, administrative, and physical safeguards.
Key topics to be discussed:
- Appreciate the different ways cybersecurity, the False Claims Act and Dodd-Frank impact board governance
- Learn select nuances of these different routes for whistleblowers to take
- Understand how these laws intersect with cybersecurity and artificial intelligence and liability considerations for individuals and companies alike
