ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --
Bloomberg Law today announced that
it will introduce new practical guidance for understanding and
obtaining cyber insurance at the Privacy. Security. Risk. (P.S.R.)
2017 conference hosted by the International Association of Privacy
Professionals (IAPP) on October 16-18
in San Diego, California.
Bloomberg Law (Booth #20) is the
Palladium Sponsor for the conference and is also participating in a
panel about the European Union's looming new General Data
Protection Regulation privacy regime.
Emerging and increasing cyber threats have resulted in a
burgeoning field of insurance coverage options, which are distinct
from other insurance contracts and require careful consideration.
To meet this growing need, Bloomberg
Law's cyber insurance content, authored by Sergio F. Oehninger, Patrick M. McDermott and Walter J. Andrews of Hunton & Williams LLP,
provides step-by-step and task-based expert guidance. This practice
guide, Cyber Insurance, provides guidance on negotiating and
obtaining cyber insurance coverage, identifying and quantifying
risk, best practices for preventative cyber security measures and
business continuity plans, and coordinating and communicating with
the insurer as part of incident response.
"Recent cyber events continue to prove that prevention is very
difficult," said Oehninger of Hunton & Williams. "Managing
cyber risk is therefore about resilience and recovering quickly,
efficiently, and cost-effectively so that a company can continue
its operations. Cyber insurance is a key component of any
effective, comprehensive cyber risk management program. We have
collaborated with Bloomberg Law to
provide this practical guidance solution to help companies mitigate
risk through insurance and navigate the complex issues involved
within the framework of business continuity."
"Law firms and legal departments are focused on privacy and
cyber security more than ever before," said Brian Kudowitz, commercial director for
Bloomberg Law. "Bloomberg Law arms these professionals with the
expert perspectives, resources and data to make informed decisions
and keep abreast of global privacy laws, regulations and
enforcement actions."
Also at the conference, Bloomberg Law Senior Legal Editor
Jimmy Koo is moderating a panel,
"Don't Panic! The Hitchhiker's Last Minute Guide to the GDPR
Galaxy," on Tuesday, October 17,
focused on how companies should prepare for the GDPR's strict new
consumer consent rules.
The new Cyber Insurance practice guide is a powerful
addition to Bloomberg Law's other
resources, including the GDPR Developments tool, which provides
one-stop-shop access to GDPR implementation monitoring and
guidance, news, and analysis. To learn more about the full suite of
