On April 19th, New York’s Attorney General, Letitia James, released a document titled, “Protecting consumer’s personal information: Tips for businesses to keep data safe and secure” (the “guide”), a resource to help businesses adopt effective data security measures. It draws on the Office of the Attorney General’s (“OAG”) experience investigating and prosecuting cybersecurity breaches, and highlights findings from such investigations. The guide can be found here.
Just last year, OAG investigated multiple large companies for inadequate cybersecurity practices.
