Cybersecurity, Corporate Governance, And Risk Management: Best Practices

As litigators, we help clients resolve conflicts that have matured into disputes.  In the realm of cybersecurity, we defend claims brought by private parties or governmental entities against companies facing the fallout from a data breach.

In advising clients in the context of litigation, we have identified tools that are available to mitigate or prevent the types of breaches that we see in litigation.  In the area of cybersecurity, companies have begun to consider the issue holistically and as part of a larger compliance and integrity program, rather than shunting cybersecurity issues to the IT department today and litigation counsel tomorrow.  In the face of significant, public data breaches and the losses suffered by the companies that are exposed, executives and corporate boards are now treating cybersecurity as a governance and risk management issue.
