In early 2020, the company SolarWinds suffered a massive cybersecurity breach of its software that went undetected for many months and had the effect of compromising a number of US government agencies in addition to many private sector companies.
As more information comes out about the breadth of the hack—widely suspected to be the product of a foreign espionage campaign—and its impact on both the US government and the private sector, our panelists will address what happened, who has responsibility, what is the legal landscape, and what can be done to address the breach.
