Cyber Incident Response: The Handbook for Boards and their Counsel
Data breaches and ransomware attacks have become increasingly common as organizations depend on technology to communicate and store data, while many employees now work remotely. These cyber incidents can result in significant legal, financial, and reputational consequences for clients. Understanding cyber incident response enables attorneys to assist their clients in developing and implementing effective mitigative strategies as well as incident response plans, comply with data breach notification laws, and minimize the legal and financial risks associated with cyber incidents. Counsel advising businesses or managing law firms will find this strategic and legal understanding of cybersecurity essential to their practice in today’s cyber landscape.
