Sydney received her J.D. from American University Washington College of Law and also holds a M.S. in International Affairs. She is licensed to practice in New York and the District of Columbia, as well as before the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.

A former Assistant District Attorney in Philadelphia, Marc brings a wealth of investigative experience to the Incident Response practice and as Breach Counsel for victim organizations. He works closely with various IR stakeholders, including DFIR firms as well as law enforcement and regulatory agencies, to effectively counsel his clients on their legal and regulatory obligations stemming from a data privacy and security incident. Additionally, he holds a TS//SCI Security Clearance which is leveraged when counseling clients that hold sensitive information not available to the public such as data involving national security.
