Fasken and Inflight Strategy Consulting would like to invite you to attend the following presentation:
"Are your online Security Statements making Misrepresentations? Lessons Learned from the SEC Lawsuit against SolarWinds."
In the aftermath of the infamous SUNBURST cyberattack, the SEC filed a groundbreaking Complaint against SolarWinds Corp. and - uniquely - their Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) - alleging that they had defrauded SolarWinds investors and customers through misstatements and omissions in both the SolarWinds online security statement and the security disclosures in the SolarWinds SEC filings, which concealed SolarWinds' poor cybersecurity practices and its "heightened - and increasing" cybersecurity risks, and overall "painted a starkly different picture" from internal discussions about SolarWinds' cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
John Beardwood and Dave Hornett will review the Complaint, the instant blowback from the CISO community, and key lessons learned from the Complaint. This is the one seminar in 2024 which every CISO, CIO and General Counsel should attend.
Agenda:

  • 12:00 pm - 12:30 pm - Registration and Lunch
  • 12:30 pm - 02:00 pm - Presentation

We hope you can make it.

Canada’s Counter-Tariffs On US Goods: A Primer On What Canadian Businesses Need To Know

Effective September 8, 2026, Canada implemented retaliatory tariffs on certain U.S. goods in response to the initial 50% tariffs imposed by the US under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930. To operationalize these measures, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) issued Customs Notice 26-23, establishing binding administrative rules on how the surtax will be applied, calculated, and collected.

Counter-Tariffs In Force, U.S. Import Bans Announced, A Cabinet Planning Forum, An Investment Summit, EU Diplomatic Overtures And A House Returning

With Labour Day now behind us, Parliament Hill is gearing up for its September 21 return. Canada’s counter-tariffs on nearly $28 billion in American goods are now in force, and the United States has already escalated in response: President Trump has signed measures to ban certain Canadian alcohol, dairy-related products, molasses, non-alcoholic beer, motorcycles and mopeds from entering the U.S. market as of September 29, while modifying the list of Canadian goods subject to 50% tariffs effective September 15 and directing action to remove Canadian-origin products from U.S. government procurement schedules.

More Than Skin Deep: Ontario Considers A Makeover Of Cosmetic Injection Rules

A regulatory shift now under consideration in Ontario could reshape how the province’s medical aesthetic clinics operate. The proposal, which would change how nurses are authorized to administer medical aesthetic services, invites a broader look at how Ontario currently regulates cosmetic injections and how the proposed changes would align the province more closely with the regulatory frameworks already in place elsewhere in Canada. While these procedures are often marketed as routine “spa” services, they remain medical acts that involve prescription products and carry clinical risks.
