Cybersecurity: Are Your Clients Prepared?

By: Brett Johnson and Calvin Weeks

Data breaches are an increasing threat to the viability of any business, yet most businesses are not prepared to handle the costs associated with a data breach. Every business maintains proprietary data in nature in the form of customer lists, trade secrets and Personally Identifiable Information, or "PII" which is protected by law. It is important for attorneys to understand the costs their clients may incur, if and when, customer PII is compromised. In addition to initial expenses incurred to investigate the breach, there may be additional costs associated with potential litigation. Understanding your client's cyber risk will allow both of you to be prepared when malicious activity occurs, so that decisions can be made efficiently and effectively.

Read the full article to learn the three areas in cybersecurity that every client needs to address.
