Cyber Security Data Breach Response
A security breach is any incident that results in unauthorized access of data, applications, services, networks and/or devices by bypassing their underlying security mechanisms. A security breach occurs when an individual or an application illegitimately enters a private, confidential or unauthorized logical IT perimeter.

Hacker and Data Security breaches often require a team of specialists including network engineers, computer forensics examiners, firewall consultants, outside PR marketing professionals, and lawyers. The legal team often includes corporate defense and privacy litigators, plus attorneys experienced in the nuances of reviewing insurance policies and maximizing the chances of having such an intrusion covered by the insurance carrier. A failure to execute each of the important response elements timely and with expertise could create additional legal and compliance issues for the impacted entity, leading to further financial fallout and economic damages.
