RiskCommunities leads network and privacy discussion on regulation and risk with top law firm

San Francisco, CA, February 24, 2011 — RiskCommunities added two important video interviews to their TechRisk Institute portfolio. In January 2011, RiskCommunities led the interview with Scott Godes, Counsel, Dickstein Shapiro LLP, to discuss the growing exposures in network, security and privacy risks.

Julie Davis, Founder of RiskCommunities, and Scott Godes, Counsel at Dickstein Shapiro LLP, reviewed first-party and third-party network and privacy risks and exposures and other sources of concern. The two professionals discussed potential coverage gaps under traditional insurance contracts, ambiguity in corporate insurance policy language and risk transfer methods. The two-part video interview concluded with an overview of compliance, breach notification, legislative changes and litigation summary.

Whether you are a small or large firm; network, security and privacy risks will continue to top the list of concerns by many boards and investors. It is helpful for companies to develop, understand and set a proactive strategy for managing these exposures. Risk identification, mitigation, regulation compliance, policy language review, risk transfer and purchase of corporate insurance policies work together to create protection.
