Five Cybersecurity Questions for General Counsel
The National Law Journal has posted a list of five questions that every general counsel should consider in the wake of the Sony hacking.
The hacking episode — as well as recent favorable rulings for the plaintiffs in class action lawsuits pending against Target — have brought cybersecurity to the forefront of many corporate boards’ and general counsel’s agendas in the coming year.
The Journal says the focus will only increase in light of the legislative proposals. This is a complex topic that crosses multiple legal disciplines and business functions, and cybersecurity risk-mitigation requires thorough planning tailored to the particular data, business practices, and infrastructure of an organization, taking into consideration the threats facing the organization.
