Senior Attorney, Richard Santalesa introduced a whitepaper on legal risks and cyber  insurance at this past week's fall meeting of the New York State Association of Counties - dubbed the think tank for NY's counties since 1923. The white paper was released at a breakout session on the meeting agenda addressing "Cyber Security and Cyber Risks in Your County" where Mr. Santalesa's co-author, Christine Marciano, President of Cyber Data Risk Managers, LLC, a leading cyber risk insurance broker and agent, discussed the landscape of data and information security risks that local and state governments face and how cyber risk insurance can be a tool for ameliorating such sudden and costly potential liabilities.

The white paper entitled Confronting Data Security Risks – Cyber Insurance As a Risk Management Tool For Local and State Government is available now for free download.
