Information is the currency of today’s commerce, and businesses face a constant and growing threat of data breaches, both intentional and inadvertent. In the digital environment, your business faces many challenges:

  • Every day, your information systems fend off thousands of cyber threats, including spam, phishing, malware, hacking and brute force attacks.
  • Employees may unwittingly open attachments containing viruses, Trojan horses and other malicious software.
  • Confidential customer information can be disclosed through simple oversight or outright theft.

State and federal governments have responded by developing, and continuing to develop, an increasingly aggressive regulatory landscape that can be just as challenging to navigate as a breach itself.

You need cyber-savvy lawyers who can help you meet these challenges and manage information risk.
