The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) has launched a new cybersecurity toolkit for in-house lawyers, the organization announced. The toolkit aims to provide practical strategies and checklists to help in-house counsel prepare for and protect their organizations against cyber threats.
The toolkit includes seven checklists covering topics, such as assessing cybersecurity practices, training employees, preparing for data breaches and addressing cybersecurity in contracts. It also addresses cybersecurity issues related to artificial intelligence.
“With the escalating frequency and risks associated with cyber threats, both reputational and financial, it is no wonder in-house lawyers are increasingly involved in cyber-related preparation and response protocols,” said Veta T. Richardson, ACC president and CEO.
