FTC litigation, convincing the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit to become the first court ever to overturn a cybersecurity enforcement action by the FTC. Doug has been recognized seven times as one of The Cybersecurity Docket’s Incident Response 40 — a list of the top 40 incident response lawyers in the United States.
