The Firm - Episode 4: Cyber Crime. The modern day boogieman

If you think you are too small to be hacked then you are a prime target. Cyber security is fast becoming the number one threat to small and medium sized business in Ireland. Phishing, email scams, credit card fraud and cyber ransom are all becoming more prevalent and far more sophisticated. What are your rights and duties if you are hacked? If your (or your clients) monies are stolen then who is responsible and are you liable? What legal obligations do you have in relation to Data under your care or control and is it possible to insure against cyber-crime and the theft of such data? In this episode Victor Clarke is joined by barrister and specialist in cyber Law, Ronan Lupton and also by cyber Insurance experts Anthony O’Leary and Brian O’Mara of O’Leary Insurance. The panel discuss the dangers posed to both individuals and businesses and how those dangers can be minimised. This Episode of “The Firm” is a must for anyone connected to the internet! A wise man once said “There are two types of people in Ireland. Those who have been the victim of cyber-crime and those who have been victim of cyber-crime but don’t know it”. It pays to be informed.
