Session Time: Thur, Nov 5, 2026: 04:00 PM-05:00 PM

Data breach litigation continues to evolve as plaintiffs file early and often, counsel and courts reconsider the boundaries of injury and causation, and insurers and victim organizations assess the economics of defense and settlement. This panel brings together litigation, cyber claims, and breach intelligence perspectives to explore class action trends, emerging arguments, and how historical breach intelligence can inform standing, harm, causation, class certification, and settlement value.
