Steven G. Stransky (Thompson Hine) and Kemba Eneas Walden (Microsoft), recently published an article, “Cyber Reporting Proposals: Assessing Liability Protections and Legal Privileges” which can be accessed in full <a href="https://www.lawfareblog.com/cyber-reporting-proposals-assessing-liability-protections-and-legal-privileges" target="_self" rel="noopener">here</a>.

contentpilot/introduction

The article discusses recently proposed data breach notification legislation that, if enacted, would require certain private sector organizations to submit reports to the federal government when they have been subject to a ransomware attack or a similar cybersecurity event. In particular, the article compares and contrasts how these proposals address liability protections and preserving legal privileges for organizations that submit such cyber incident reports. These issues are a significant concern within the private sector and likely will impact how thoroughly businesses comply with a new data breach notification law and the quantity and quality of cyber incident reporting.
