In a video interview at RSA Conference 2017, Burton discusses:

  • How the FTC and FCC are getting more involved with IoT;
  • How and why agencies are staking claims in cybersecurity;
  • Why the D-Link fine may be precedent-setting.

At the law firm Duane Morris, Burton, who's managing partner, focuses on information security and cyberfraud issues as well as civil, criminal and appellate litigation. He advises and represents individuals and corporations regarding their rights and responsibilities in maintaining the security of digital information. His practice includes trade secret, trademark and patent litigation, with an emphasis on cybercrime and cybersecurity. Burton is a former assistant U.S. attorney who handled several pioneering high technology investigations and prosecutions, including the first prosecution in the nation for criminal copyright infringement of computer code.
