Protecting proprietary data and confidential consumer information from ongoing and evolving security threats is a non-negotiable cost of doing business. The losses in revenue and reputation after a successful cyberattack can devastate a business. The potential losses can worsen if a company does not take the necessary steps to protect the privacy of that data before a breach and/or satisfy its disclosure and notification obligations after a breach.
At Leydig, our cybersecurity attorneys help businesses understand and meet the legal requirements that govern collecting, using, and maintaining collections of personal and proprietary data. If a breach occurs, we collaborate with appropriate technical experts to provide legal counsel, addressing the breach and the actions required to minimize the scope of the breach and the potential liabilities.
