CYBERSECURITY, DATA PROTECTION, & PRIVACY The importance of data privacy and cybersecurity has been highlighted by the almost-daily news reports of data breaches. Some of those incidents are the result of internal mistakes, like lost or stolen laptops, while others are the result of malicious attacks through vectors like phishing emails or malware-compromised flash drives. In the last year, the number of ransomware attacks—where malware is used to lock computer files and other electronic assets belonging to the victim until a ransom is paid—have increased significantly. For these reasons, assuring cybersecurity has become a necessity for businesses across all industries. Jackson Walker’s Cybersecurity practice serves as a resource for businesses taking proactive steps to manage their cybersecurity risks, including helping clients acquire and negotiate insurance coverage to protect their businesses from the consequences of a breach. We are there to walk alongside you when your company experiences a data breach, leveraging the experience garnered from years of assisting clients through the myriad of regulatory, practical and technical steps that need to be taken when a breach occurs and assisting with recovery of any insurance proceeds for losses and liabilities. Our extensive experience litigating insurance coverage disputes allows us to handle the challenging issues presented by cyber-insurance matters. The consequences of information compromise present business issues that require legal planning and action to mitigate the risks to the enterprise and its owners. We encourage a proactive approach to lay the groundwork to protect legal interests, promote strong corporate governance, and reduce the potential of financial losses, legal missteps, significant litigation, and other actions arising from information compromise.
