Lawyers are increasingly on the front lines of responding to significant cyber incidents. At a recent Georgetown Cybersecurity Law Institute conference, panelists from three global companies discussed best practices and practical tips for attorneys managing a cyber investigation. Moderator Kimberly Peretti, a partner at Alston & Bird, presented three real-life scenarios to Wyndham Worldwide’s chief compliance officer, chief counsel for cybersecurity and privacy at SAIC and the CISO at Cvent, a global meetings and events technology software company. Their recommendations included planning ahead, creating and practicing robust incident response plans and fostering a strong relationship between legal and information security teams.
