Michael Donis, director of business development and general counsel for Stratosphere Networks, will participate on June 14 as a panelist discussing the topic "Cyber and Privacy Risks: Surveying the Landscape." The panel will survey the reputational, legal and economic risks that data breaches and privacy concerns pose for all organizations.
