Scott Godes, partner and co-chair of the firm’s Data Security and Privacy Practice Group, was recently quoted in Law360’s article, “A Cyberattack Survival Guide for Policyholders.” The article examines cybersecurity concerns companies face after massive data breaches and highlights issues such as card issuer liability, customer liability, and D&O litigation. Scott is quoted multiple times within the article. He notes that there is not a magic solution to preventing data breaches and cyberattacks, noting that many "large enterprises that were hit with data breaches” had been “certified as compliant with payment card security rules by a third party.” Scott then gives advice for buying and evaluating cyberinsurance policies and insurance towers for those risks.
