Written by a leading Internet and security law lawyer, this book provides practical guidance for minimizing risk of loss when a security breach occurs and deterring future security breaches. Unlike other books on this topic, state security breach notification laws are analyzed together in a practical issue-by-issue approach with a focus on the questions that must be considered chronologically to evaluate and respond to security breaches. This unique method for complying with a nationwide patchwork of laws and potentially conflicting legal requirements provides both experts and novices with the "big picture" perspective critical to evaluating how best to proceed.
