ElevateIT Presents: Breaking Barriers, Empowering Innovation: Women Driving the Future of Technology

In early 2025, President Trump’s administration repurposed the existing U.S. Digital Service into the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) via an executive order mandating extensive data access across federal agencies to identify inefficiencies. DOGE rapidly gained unprecedented entry into sensitive federal employee records and payment systems, sparking significant privacy concerns and a wave of litigation under the Privacy Act of 1974. Critics argued that DOGE's sweeping access constituted unlawful disclosures of protected personal information, prompting federal employees and unions to seek judicial intervention. Courts responded by issuing preliminary injunctions blocking DOGE’s access to key federal databases, including those at the Office of Personnel Management, Treasury, and the Department of Education. These landmark cases underscore ongoing tensions between executive authority, government efficiency initiatives, and statutory privacy protections. This webcast will explore the legal and privacy issues surrounding the recent litigation against DOGE and what may happen in the coming weeks.

ElevateIT Presents: CISO Roundtable - Securing Tomorrow’s Digital Frontiers: Innovate, Defend, Empower

Join Brandon Dunlap and J.J. Thompson for a unique discussion on the evolution of cybersecurity and GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) over the past 20 years. Despite advancements over the years, little has changed. Modern GRC platforms still suffer from inefficiencies, organizations still have an over-reliance on spreadsheets and there are challenges of maintaining compliance with regulations like PCI, HIPAA, and Sarbanes-Oxley. They will also discuss the need for automating evidence collection and better aligning cybersecurity practices and insurance underwriting. The concept of cyber GRC 2.0, which focuses on resilience and financial remuneration will be explored, as well as the importance of clear documentation and proof points to ensure claims are paid promptly.

ElevateIT Presents: Navigating AI Trust, Risk and Security Management in the Transformation Age

The new Trump administration has brought with it a flurry of changes (in a very short time) with respect to U.S. national policy on cybersecurity, privacy, and AI.  Much of the change taking place is rooted in competition with China, with DeepSeek’s debut of its R1 LLM causing particular concern.  Still, there are plenty of initiatives advanced by the previous administration that are enforceable in 2025, such as the Dept. of Justice’s ban on the export of personal information and its prosecution of cybersecurity failures under the False Claims Act. In this fireside chat, a panel of cybersecurity, privacy, and AI attorneys will update you on what’s changed, what’s likely to change, and what’s likely NOT to change, and how you can best prepare.  
 
Takeaways include:
 
·            Analysis of the controversy surrounding DeepSeek’s R1, a review of the TikTok saga, and an examination of Dept. of Justice rules prohibiting the export of personal data
·            A summary of the new federal breach notification rules and why your industry is likely subject to them
·            How Red Teaming and Zero Trust Architecture may be moving from “best practices” to “must haves”

Preparing for the Trump Administration’s Changes to Cybersecurity, Privacy, and AI

In the short time since Chinese AI developer DeekSeek released its R1 open-source large language model (LLM) into the marketplace, a firestorm of controversy has developed that touches multiple aspects of its use, including U.S. national security.  In addition to a complete ban on its use within Italy, several national governments and U.S. states have banned its use on employee devices.  Is R1 truly a threat, and if so, how?  More importantly, what are the legal implications and requirements of its use?  In this fireside chat, a team of AI, cybersecurity, and privacy attorneys join Brandon Dunlap to discuss the many legal aspects of using R1 and other open-source LLMs.
