Breaches and a Lawsuit: An Institution's Road to Recovery

As a result of its breaches and a class action lawsuit, the University of Hawaii has undertaken extensive actions to transform its information security landscape. We will describe the timeline of events and our institutional responses and share strategies from our new information security program to prevent future exposures of sensitive information. The goal of this session is to enable other institutions to benefit from our experiences to help them develop their own preventive strategies and, should a breach occur, have the tools and procedures in place to quickly mitigate damages and communicate appropriately, thereby minimizing the risk of a lawsuit.
