Cybersecurity touches every aspect of consumer and corporate culture today. Preventing, preparing for, and responding to data breaches in real time is a chief concern for individuals, corporate leaders, and government regulators. Download the 2018 ACC Foundation: the State of Cybersecurity Report, underwritten by Ballard Spahr LLP, and learn what more than 600 corporate counsel say about their cybersecurity experiences, role, and practices.
The ACC Foundation: State of Cybersecurity Report (2018) is a study of more than 600 in-house counsel published by the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) Foundation. This report provides insight from corporate lawyers in 33 countries and represents a follow-up to our 2015 survey. The report aims to serve as a resource for corporations, lawyers, boards of directors, and members of the public affected by one of the greatest challenges organisations face today — cybersecurity.
Because today’s general counsel (GC), and chief legal officers (CLOs) are increasingly called on to guide their organisations and aid with thwarting cyberattacks, they play a significant role in implementing best practices and regulations to prevent cybercriminals from acquiring protected information. Knowing common practices, what works, and what your peers are doing is key in benchmarking and planning to protect your company from risk. Straddling business, IT, and legal, today’s corporate legal department is uniquely positioned to engage the multiple stakeholders that a robust data protection regime requires.
