COVID-19, Cybersecurity and Workplace Investigations

These aren’t normal times. All kids schooling from home. Restaurants aren’t open. Millions of people “sheltering in place.” I ‘visit’ my elderly dad in Frisco by parking in his driveway, dropping bags of groceries at the garage door, and then stepping back to my car like some kind of unseemly ‘drop’ from a TV drama.

Something that hascontinued as normal, however, in the course of business, is the work of responding to cybersecurity incidents and conducting workplace investigations. Companies are still having to defend against and respond to cybersecurity attacks, including data breaches. They’re also still having to conduct investigations and ensure regulatory compliance regarding all kinds of matters including discrimination claims, SEC matters, and theft of company data and trade secrets, to name a few.
