Several high-profile data breaches began with security breaches at a third-party. Cyber criminals increasingly target vendors and other service providers, including law firms, to gain access to their clients. Managing third-party risk is an important component of any data security program. Most regulatory regimes require specific steps to address third-party security and many impose specific requirements on service providers and vendors themselves. This panel will examine those requirements and best practices for managing those risks.

A recent analysis of data breach class actions found that both the number of class actions filed and the defendants involved declined over the past year. At the same time, the plaintiffs’ bar has developed novel claims that could significantly expand liability in this area and the security concerns posed by the explosion of connected devices and IoT raise new issues that are percolating. Regulatory enforcement actions also continue to increase in most sectors and several significant new requirements increase those risks. This session will review recent legal developments and open issues in data breach class actions and trends in regulatory investigations, including the incidents that result in litigation and enforcement, the laws implicated and remedies sought, as well as future trends.
