Cybersecurity, Cyberrisks and Cybercrime
Cybersecurity, Cyberrisks and Cybercrime: anticipating and reacting to these new challenges
The risks associated with the omnipresence of new technologies are becoming increasingly numerous, with potentially far-reaching consequences for companies. Fraud, cyber-attacks, security breaches… All organizations are concerned and have to face up to these vulnerabilities, whatever their sector of activity or structure.
We support our clients every step of the way, from risk prevention to cyber-crisis management in the event of an incident or attack. The legal dimension has become one of the essential pillars of cybersecurity management.
Prevention: how can you protect your infrastructures and anticipate cyber risks?
Our lawyers can help you to ensure and preserve your company’s cybersecurity, by :
deploy internal procedures and tools for prevention, security and incident/attack management;
define an appropriate contractual framework (defining responsibilities with service providers and partners, etc.);
identify and anticipate risks: ransomware, phishing, etc. … ;
analyze insurance coverage for cyber risks;
raise team awareness;
conduct penetration tests in conjunction with our partners in this field.
To do this, our teams carry out an audit of your activities, in order to (i) bring you into compliance with cybersecurity obligations, (ii) best identify the cyber threats to which you are likely to be exposed, and (iii) deploy key actions with regard to these risks and applicable regulatory and legal requirements (RGPD, etc…).

Defending yourself: how to get cybercrime punished?
The specificity of cybercrime and the technicality of cybercriminals’ operating methods have led to the creation of dedicated investigation services for cyber offenses, as well as the establishment of specialized sections within the courts.
Cybercrime involves a wide range of criminal offences:
general criminal law offences: fraud, breach of trust, extortion, identity theft, etc.
and also with regard to special offences created to combat these new threats: attacks on automated data processing systems, revenge porn, cybersquatting, etc.
Our teams will support you in your legal proceedings, both civil and criminal, and in the implementation of specific coverage for cyber risks, as well as for “Legal Protection” and “Defense-Recourse” coverage.
