WASHINGTON, D.C. – Ira E.

This session will look at how to supplement legacy defenses and develop a holistic approach to risk management with an integrated focus on the adversary via actionable threat intelligence.

Hoffman focuses his practice on government contracts, international law, commercial litigation and cybersecurity law and policy. He has more than 30 years’ experience in international contracting, and his cybersecurity practice focuses on liability for security breaches, M&A due diligence, government investigations, and strategies for mitigating cyber risk.
