Partner, Raj Ferber PLLC and Former Deputy General Counsel, U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Post-Attack Recovery, Damage Limitation Measures, International Context and Where We Go from Here
Kiran Raj brings extensive experience in cybersecurity, technology policy and national security law. As deputy general counsel at the Department of Homeland Security, he advised on cybersecurity and technology-related legal issues. Now a partner at Raj Ferber PLLC, he focuses on legal matters involving emerging cyber threats.
Each year, the
Mary and Michael
Jaharis Health Law Institute, in collaboration with the College of Law's Center for Intellectual Property Law & Information Technology, explores a critical legal issue at the intersection of health law, intellectual property law and information technology.
This year’s program is no exception as we dive deeper into the impact of cyberattacks on health care operations and privacy protections, as exemplified by the Change Healthcare data breach and ransomware attack, and the regulatory, liability and remedial responses to such cyberattacks. This topic lends itself to the interdisciplinary nature of our Symposium, as we gather a wide range of academics, legal practitioners and health care professionals to discuss the challenges and opportunities involved with this significant issue.
This year’s Symposium will focus on:
- Regulatory responses and private protection measures
- Liability concerns, including class actions
- Insurance requirements and insurance-mandated protective measures
- Government action in light of the Change Healthcare data breach and ransomware attack, ethical obligations, and equity considerations
- Post-attack recovery and damage limitation measures
