The Midwest Cyber Security Alliance (MCSA), founded by Jennifer Rathburn, a Data Security & Privacy Partner at Foley & Lardner LLP in Milwaukee, exists to help industry practitioners protect their organizations from cyber threats, and to provide a forum for the exchange for information and best practices. The meeting, which includes networking and cocktails, will be held on May 18th from 4:30-6:30PM at Foley & Lardner's Milwaukee offices at 777 East Wisconsin Avenue, and will address the growing ransomware problem and how businesses can prepare for and respond to these emerging attacks.

We are thrilled to be partnering with the MCSA on this important program." 4Discovery is a leading provider of incident response forensics to CISOs and the legal community.
