Best Practices in Dealing with Post Cyber Attack Litigation Risk in 2015
Overview:
As the number of cyber-attacks against the private sector increase, business manager and lawyers need to be concerned about litigation following such attacks. Some cases may be dismissed, but increasingly companies must take responsibility for protecting their own and their client's data and the national security interests of the nation.
McAfee and other security software makers predict that cyber-attacks will increase in 2015. In 2014, there was a series of spectacular attacks involving very sophisticated techniques to infiltrate networks with Denial of Service and other attacks. Smaller nations and new terrorist and crime groups will become even more active.
