Alston & Bird recently issued an Advisory entitled “Six Myths of Breach Response,” authored by Jim Harvey. As data breaches are on the rise, so are the challenges that businesses face in handling these security incidents. This Advisory identifies six strategic pitfalls to avoid when responding to breaches. The Advisory addresses the true significance of public notification, common mistakes in preserving attorney-client privilege, and tough choices regarding the selection of public relation, investigative, and legal counsel.
Jim Harvey co-chairs Alston & Bird’s Cybersecurity Preparedness & Response team and Privacy & Security task force and has advised companies on some of the largest data breach incidents on record.
The Advisory can be found at Six Myths of Breach Response.
