Maintaining cybersecurity in today's technologically driven world is vital to the health of any business. Media outlets continue to report on large-scale data breaches affecting millions of consumers' information and costing companies millions, and sometimes even billions, of dollars to rectify. Organizations, particularly those within or touching the healthcare industry, remain the most attractive of targets for cyber attackers given the higher and lasting value of personal health information. The goal of this book is to help bolster stakeholders' knowledge of cybersecurity in the healthcare industry, with the aim of pinpointing current and impending threats to the industry's data security. The topics to be addressed include types of cybersecurity threats; ransomware in healthcare; how to prepare for and respond to cybersecurity attacks; the cost of inadequate security measures; and managing privacy and cybersecurity risks.

"The Privacy Nutshell briefly reviews the historical roots of privacy, and then examines each of these U.S. privacy statutes and regulations. Virtually all governments and businesses face privacy considerations as technology continues to evolve. Legal issues related to privacy are exploding on the U.S. legal scene. The EU has a long history of a strong regulatory privacy regime. The U. S., however, follows a sectoral approach to privacy, whereby Congress responds to each privacy “crisis” with a new statute and set of regulations. This sectoral approach has resulted in a unique series of privacy rules for different areas of society. The Privacy Nutshell is an excellent introductory guide to the legal privacy world." -publisher's description

In any episode of the popular television show Law and Order, questions of police procedure in collecting evidence often arise. Was a search legal? Was the evidence obtained lawfully? Did the police follow the rules in pursuing their case? While the show depicts fictional cases and scenarios, police procedure with regard to search and seizure is a real and significant issue in the criminal justice system today. The subject of many Supreme Court decisions, they seriously impact the way police pursue their investigations, the way prosecutors proceed with their cases, and the way defense attorneys defend their clients. This book answers these questions and explains these decisions in accessible and easy to follow language. Each chapter explores a separate case or series of cases involving the application of the Fourth Amendment to current police investigatory practices or prosecutorial conduct of the criminal trial. The police-related cases involve topics such as searches of...

Why this book? Most have neither considered, nor know how "cyber secure" they are. For the majority who are not information technology (IT) professionals, the idea of delving into the technical details of secure computing can create apprehension and confusion. Some people think that if their email system works, and if their documents are accessible, then why bother making any security improvements to their system, which might create complications or cost time and money. Some would prefer not to know the cybercrime risks they are facing, or just haven't thought about it. Cybersecurity is more, though; it is also about protecting data from risks other than cybercrime, such as unanticipated IT issues, hard-drive crashes, house fires, and other incidents. Beyond security, this book will also provide information to use computers and data more efficiently. No matter an individual's level of comfort or experience with computers, this book will help recognize when electronic "doors" are open …

Law firms can mitigate the risk of a data breach through a variety of means, including: investing in cybersecurity tools, hiring internal and external cyber resources to augment the firm's current information security practices, and arguably most importantly changing the firm's culture to be more security conscious. No one size fits all solution exists for dealing with cyber threats, but with proper focus and resources, a firm can consider its unique factors and develop an information security posture that addresses its most compelling concerns. While preventing a breach should be a paramount concern for any law firm, it is similarly important to prepare for what happens in the event that a breach occurs. Although there are options, such as cyber insurance, to help mitigate the direct costs of a breach, law firms must also look to other options to resolve these issues expeditiously. As the costs associated with litigating data breach claims continues to climb, it will become increasing…

The Internet of Things encompasses the ability to connect and direct almost any kind of mechanical system, whether it's automotive, medical, residential, or critical infrastructure. IoT technologies hold tremendous promise for our communities by making them safer and more efficient. As with any other technology, they also entail security risk, and the risks associated with IoT technologies must be aggressively managed. We can do so, with industry's help, by working to leverage standards and liability and insurance mechanisms to ensure that IoT's foundational building blocks are secure and effective.
