Key findings include current cybersecurity practices, prevention, protection, and response from hundreds of companies across 33 countries.

Because today’s general counsel (GC), and chief legal officers (CLOs) are increasingly called on to guide their organizations 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.
