The Department of Justice Issues Guidance on Best Practices for Cybersecurity Preparedness
On April 29, 2015, the newly-formed Cybersecurity Unit of the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) issued guidance on best practices for organizations to protect against and respond to data breaches and other cybersecurity risks. As announced by Assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell at an inaugural invitation-only industry roundtable in Washington, D.C. that day, the publication will be a living document updated over time as part of the DOJ’s efforts to “elevate cybersecurity efforts” and “build better channels of communication with law enforcement.”
