Guide to Cybersecurity Due Diligence in M&A Transactions

In the Digital Era, ubiquitous connectivity has spared no enterprise the risks of being hacked from anywhere in the world. The reality of this threat, coupled with the near total dependence of today's businesses on networked digital technology, presents a major risk of catastrophic consequences to most businesses--and acquiring or merging with any business involves taking on that risk. Thus, in any M&A transaction, an evaluation of the target's cybersecurity capabilities and experience is critical. This comprehensive and valuable guide, Guide to Cybersecurity Due Diligence in M&A Transactions is designed to assist companies and their counsel in assessing that risk. Detailed and easy-to-read, this comprehensive guide includes discussions on recent cyber incidents, including Nieman Marcus, Yahoo, Target Corporation, Sony Pictures, and Volkswagen.
