Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is a topic that is of increasing importance to businesses of every size. Just think of Target, Home Depot, and Chase Bank. Closer to home, think of the Houstonian Hotel, Houston Astros, and Spec’s Liquor. 

Hacktivists access non-public customer and employee data for the purpose of making unauthorized purchases or selling stolen records to other hacktivists who engage in identity theft, committing crimes using the names and identities of unsuspecting victims. With the growth of this type of crime, banking institutions are taking stronger protective measures to safeguard their customers’ personal information. Banks are looking for ways to transfer liability to retailers who contribute to the problem by failing to take similar appropriate measures. It is also expected that by FY 2016, government suppliers will be required to demonstrate compliance with those standards in order to qualify for government contracts.
