On January 8, 2016, Culhane Meadows partner and CIO Kim Verska participated on a panel called “Perspectives on Managing Securities Breaches” before 150 executives from the internal audit industry. The panel was part of a daylong program on data security for the Atlanta Chapter of the Institute for Internal Auditors (IIA). Also on the panel were Trent Reeve, a security consultant with Bridge2Solutions, and Ralph Pasquariello, a cyber-liability and security breach insurance specialist with Snelling Walters Insurance. The panel was moderated by Ian Burnett, Director of Internal Audit at accounting firm RSM US, LLP, a sponsor of the event. Ms. Verska, who chairs the Data Privacy & Security practice at Culhane Meadows, provided the audience with a short summary of her general recommendations and observations from a legal perspective in this area.
