Board of directors need toaddress the growing tension betweenobligations to fulfill cyber security legalrequirements and <strong>com</strong>panies efforts totake advantage of technologies whichincrease cyber vulnerabilities such asmobile <strong>com</strong>puting devices, flash drives,smartphones, social networks, and cloud<strong>com</strong>puting.This audio CD-ROM considers whether<strong>com</strong>panies are overlooking this issue byadopting policies that appear to treat thebenefits of new technologies as immediateand substantial, the <strong>com</strong>promises to cybersecurity as speculative, and the damagefrom a security breach as remote andcontainable. It also addresses the cybersecurity regulations that in-house andoutside counsel may soon be obligated to<strong>com</strong>ply with as a result of decisions a<strong>com</strong>pany has made concerning potentiallyvulnerable technologies. The programraises the issue of whether the emergingcyber security regulations may beencouraging a culture of <strong>com</strong>pliance andpaper exercises rather than security thatprotects critical assets and finds andcorrects cyber vulnerabilities before theycan be exploited. Lastly, it discussesrecent court decisions that suggest a shiftin judicial views of cyber security and agrowing willingness by judges to prevententerprises from shifting the risks ofsecurity deficiencies to their customers.Item no. : AD11200392Format : CD-ROM (Win)Duration : 90 minutesCopyright : <strong>2012</strong>Price : USD 150.00BUYING DISTRESSED DEBTIN TURBULENT TIMESIn these turbulent times, lenders arecleaning up their debt portfolios by sellingoff their non-performing andnon-conforming loans.Sales of distressed loans present uniquebuying opportunities and challenges.This program will highlight the key issuesfacing buyers of distressed debt andprovide insight into current trends,including:________________________________________________________________________________________________________Learning Rendezvous LimitedEmail: inquiry@learningemall.<strong>com</strong> Websites: http://www.learningemall.<strong>com</strong> & http://www.learningemall.<strong>com</strong>.hkHow to negotiate with debt sellers andwhat are the key motivating factors foreach party.How to conduct due diligence of thelender's loan and collateraldocumentation, and what do youneed to do outside of the loandocuments.
