Cybersecurity

In today’s connected world, with its ever-evolving cyberthreat landscape, our lawyers and operational consultants can advise on all aspects of protecting your most valuable assets: systems, data and people. 

Every private and public sector organization including their employees, customers and suppliers are potential targets for cyberattacks. Security incidents and data breaches are a regular occurrence, risking financial losses, regulatory fines and reputational damage. 

Supporting robust enterprise security and cybersecurity programs, our teams in Africa and around the world advise on all issues surrounding cybersecurity, from building cyber-resilience, to incident response and post-incident remediation, providing a holistic and tailored client service. 

We combine technology, incident response, litigation, insurance and employment as well as sector-adapted experience to give in-depth support. We use round-the-clock communication protocols and a common methodology for immediate coordination and response. Wherever you may be, we can assemble an integrated team of cybersecurity technicians and lawyers, helping to address your security issue, while cloaking those efforts in privilege (to the extent possible), anywhere in the world, within 24 hours of our first notification.
