Cybersecurity touches almost every aspect of a company’s operations. Companies in the aerospace and defense (A&D) sector can be subject to greater risks due to the industry's highly technical and sensitive nature – particularly when contractors act as repositories for government data – and face increased pressure to develop and implement robust cybersecurity practices. Safeguarding measures that were reasonable in the recent past are unlikely to meet regulators’ future expectations.
Our top-tier cybersecurity team of experienced lawyers and technical professionals provides comprehensive legal, operational, and reputation risk management services to the A&D industry. We understand the legislative and regulatory landscape, and counsel numerous A&D companies on proactive measures they can take to manage legal and regulatory risks in this area.
