Agenda:
Kenneth Rashbaum, Partner
Barton LLP
- Cyber-security prevention and breach response protocols are not discretionary, in the wake of well-publicized security breaches and the speed with which hackers can adapt to and intrude upon an organization’s systems. Information assets are often the most valuable, including the data of customers. Federal and state governments, courts, regulatory agencies and the public are watching cyber-security efforts and a company can be punished by fines and loss of business if it is remiss in breach prevention efforts. On the other hand, good compliance efforts may attract business and investment.
Breach prevention is not cost-free, but actual breaches carry a much greater cost. The risk of that cost can be mitigated to a degree by the right cyber-risk coverage. Cyber-risk coverage is widely available and at favorable rates, given the relative lack of claims experience across the U.S. That cost favorability will change in coming years as organizations experience more breaches, and so the time to obtain coverage is now. - It is critical to prepare for cyber-security underwriting. The underwriter will determine the limits and scope of the coverage offered. Preparation comprises robust cyber-security protocols and current risk assessments.
- It is critical to read the offered cyber-risk policy carefully. Deductibles and exclusions apply, and the organization should determine whether it needs to purchase endorsements that mitigate some of those exclusions, such as regulatory defense.
- Cyber-security risk management requires documentation. Policies and procedures, workforce training , reviews of systems, data maps and risk assessments must be well-documented and current. The standard in breach regulatory proceedings and litigation is not strict liability; it’s reasonable steps. That standard can be met only with robust documentation of those steps.
