Cybersecurity is a major concern for all organizations today that utilize digital technology, but one of the initial questions for any organization must be, “What are my legal obligations when it comes to cybersecurity?” Of course all organizations want to protect their intellectual property, their reputation and their technology capital investments. To do this, every organization needs to develop a cybersecurity strategy that will serve as the blueprint that will direct the focus and resources in order to secure the enterprise. While it is natural to emphasize the creation of policies and selection of required security tools that make up an effective multilayer security strategy, one must not forget the legal aspects involved in protecting personal data.
