EVENT DESCRIPTION
February Midwest Cyber Security Alliance Meeting
Cybersecurity compliance is becoming more complex, requiring organizations to navigate a wide range of standards, frameworks, and regulatory expectations. Join us on Monday, February 23, 2026, at the next Midwest Cyber Security Alliance Meeting, where Baker Tilly's Garrett Gosh, Chris Tait, and Himanshu Sharma, and Foley Partner Jennifer Urban will provide a practical, plain-English overview of the major cyber laws, frameworks, and regulatory expectations shaping 2026 and beyond. Attendees will leave with clarity on what matters most, how these requirements intersect, and how to communicate effectively with regulators, auditors, leadership, and boards.
The briefing will cover:
• A Guided Tour of the Cybersecurity Alphabet Soup
• Audit, Assessment, or Risk Assessment — What’s the Difference?
