The Cybersecurity & Privacy Developments That Shaped 2023

Caleb Skeath and Lindsey Tonsager’s commentary was included in a Law360 article reviewing the major cybersecurity and data privacy developments of 2023. Caleb commented on requirements for companies to report cyber incidents, while Lindsey provided insight on the nuances of various new laws that companies will need to consider in their compliance plans.

Caleb observed how companies will be reporting incidents to increasingly active regulators “in an environment where there's a lot of legal risk associated. Companies will have to make sure they're providing active and timely information at the same time they're trying to understand a cyber incident that's evolving quite rapidly.”

Lindsey added that “companies are trying to figure out what are the common principles and the lowest common denominators across these laws nationwide, and there's also a lot of uncertainty over how regulators are going to apply these laws and possible differences in their interpretations.”
