Hackers thrive amidst confusion and distraction, so it is important that with all the focus on coronavirus, companies—including their lawyers—remain on guard against cyber attacks. This Alert provides a series of quick, simple and crucial steps companies can take to improve cyber preparedness and response, including:
- Ensure employees are reminded of the critical need for cyber hygiene, especially when teleworking.
- Confirm that Cyber Incident Response Teams have hard copy access to response plans at home, not just in the office.
- Ensure that key members have a good sense of the regulatory and contractual notification obligations in the event of a breach.
