Cybersecurity

In addition, there is a Tsunami of further cyber-focused regulations that companies need to consider. Examples include the EU Cybersecurity Act, the proposal for an EU Cyber Resilience Act and the proposal for a Cyber Solidarity Act as well as UN R155 and UN R156.

Businesses are also increasingly exposed to data breaches and cyber-attacks. You can read out more about our predictions in the cybersecurity space in 2023 in our latest Tech & Comms Challenges, Opportunities & Predictions guide here.

These new legislative acts and growing cyber threats require businesses to take proactive measures to secure their networks, systems, and data. We firmly believe that cybersecurity challenges can only be met with a multidisciplinary approach: that is why our cybersecurity team is made up of specialists from our tech & comms, commercial, data protection, dispute resolution, corporate, HR and intellectual property groups. But for cyber our multidisciplinary approach goes further; we have longstanding and close relationships with a broad spectrum of forensic IT and cybersecurity consultants, PR agencies, cybersecurity insurers and other relevant experts to provide a holistic response.

Clients turn to us for advice on the challenges and opportunities presented by all angles of cybersecurity, for example we have:

• Helped clients understand their cyber risks and building their resilience;
• Developed the policies, plans and procedures to lay the foundations for a better security posture and ability to respond to attack;
• Advised on regulatory compliance requirements;
• Engaged in simulation exercises and providing training at all levels;
• Supported clients who are having to come to grips with cyber incidents;
• Advised on cyber insurance including coverage and policy wording;
• Advised on Bug Bounty Programmes; and

Cybersecurity incidents are always unpredictable: we can help you mitigate the impact through careful resilience planning, cyber education, and cyber incident response practice. But when an event does occur, we understand that it is an emergency, and we are well versed in responding accordingly. With our team’s international presence, we can offer round-the-clock assistance without any time zone limitations.

What cyber services and tools do we offer?
