For most companies, if there was an increase in burglary or fraud in the area, they’d start worrying, but cybercrime isn’t as visual and obvious of a threat. This leads many business owners to believe there’s nothing to worry about, when in reality, there’s a lot at stake. If a breach occurs, are you risking a lawsuit?
Here’s a few factors that would almost guarantee your company will get sued after a cyber breach:
- Loss of financial data: Breaches involving loss of customer financial data are significantly more likely to lead to a lawsuit than breaches that don’t involve financial data.
- Improper disposal of data: Breaches due to improper disposal of data, such as the loss or theft of a device, are more likely to lead to lawsuits due to regulations requiring proper disposal of sensitive information.
What can be done to eliminate the risk of litigation and liability in the event of cyber breach? It’s simple: make sure you’re in compliance with state and federal laws and regulations and follow best practices, including:
- Implementing the right security measures
- Educating employees on cyber security
- Staying ahead of evolving threats
