More, More, More: Why Cybersecurity Regulation Keeps Failing—And What We Can Do About It

Presented by: Antony Haynes, Director of Cybersecurity and Privacy Law; Professor of Law at Albany Law School More money, more compliance, and more oversight have not translated into greater security. Traditional legal and regulatory tools are proving inadequate. This CLE will explore the Resource Futility Problem in cybersecurity: how legal frameworks often reward check-thebox compliance over real risk reduction, overlook the asymmetries between attackers and defenders, and fail to account for the complex, interdependent nature of digital infrastructure. Discuss what new legal thinking might be required to reverse the trend— whether you're advising clients, managing risk, or responsible for compliance.
