Technology Committee

On October 25th, 2021 the Technology Committee hosted an incredible CLE webinar in support of Cybersecurity Awareness Month. With a turnout of over 300 participants, it far exceeded any of our expectations.

Our illustrious panel consisted of:

Moderator
Alexander Southwell, Esq., Partner – Gibson Dunn & Crutcher

Panelists
State Sen. Kevin Thomas – sponsor of consumer data privacy legislation
Patty Smejkal, CTO – HomeServices of America
Special Agent Kate McCarthy – Federal Bureau of Investigation
Rich Richards Jr., Cybersecurity Advisor – CISA.GOV
Justin Herring, Exec. Deputy Supt. – DFS Cyber Security Division

The feedback has been amazing so far. We believe we brought value to so many through the discussion and education on the current cybersecurity landscape.
The technology committee is working on adding a new page to the NYSLTA website to showcase a lot of this information and continue to be a resource for our members and the industry as a whole.
