Cyber Insurance, You Need to Know if You Have It, and Your Lawyer Darn Sure Does!

Cyber law, cybersecurity, cyber attacks, and cyber insurance — unless you live under a rock, you’ve heard of it. And, you had better hope your lawyer has also.

I would argue that the minimum standard of care for lawyers practicing in 2015 requires a basic understanding of cyber insurance. In fact, I did make that argument, along with my co-author Katti Smith, a seasoned cyber insurance professional with AIG.

Our recent article, Practical Cyber Law: Why the Standard of Care Requires Lawyers to Have a Basic Understanding of Cyber Insurance, was published in Volume 3: Summer 2015 issue of Circuits, the official publication of the Computer and Technology Section of the State Bar of Texas. Go check it out and let us know what you think.
