Israel Privacy Protection Regulations - Duty To Report A Severe Security EventBarry Schuman
One of the most significant recent developments in data protection in Israel has been the publication of the Privacy Protection Regulations (Data Security) in May 2017. These significant regulations came into effect in May 2018.
The regulations were enacted after extensive consultation with the Israeli public, and in particular the stake holders that would be effected by the regulations. The regulations apply to both private and public sectors and establish organizational mechanisms aimed at making data security part of the management practices of all organizations processing personal data.
It is anticipated that the regulations will considerably advance the level of data security in Israel. They are both flexible, tangible and precise to a degree that offers organizations regulatory certainty and practical tools that are unpretentious to implement.
Equifax, one of the largest credit reporting agencies in the
United States, was recently the victim of a massive cyber

As we enter the digital economy, companies will quickly realize that the differentiator in the digital economy is information and information being a valuable resource is subject to theft, hacking, phishing and a host of other issues which compromise a company’s ability to participate in the digital economy. Cybersecurity misfires compromise the trust of buyers and partners necessary to participate in the digital economy. It is up to every company to ensure that the information shared with them is protected to the best of their ability and proactively notify persons and organizations who entrust their information necessary to transact business (any personal identity information including but not limited to addresses, credit card information, social security numbers, account information, credit information, medical records, etc.) with any potential compromises which can yield harm to them by that information either being used maliciously or shared with others.
This purpose of this writing is to cover some of the core requirements for implementing cybersecurity, the accountabilities for cybersecurity risks and the information used to manage a viable cybersecurity program.

The Road to Intelligent Authentication JourneysForgeRock
The pressure is on. You need to build a great customer login experience that is secure but doesn’t burden your customers with complicated password requirements. But wait, there’s more – you also need to personalize the login experience and provide metrics back to the business. Legacy authentication has you boxed in. What are you to do? Solutions like multi-factor authentication (MFA) are replacing traditional login methods but its limitations are often static and offer up inconsistent customer experiences, leading to abandonment. Organizations need an intelligent authentication approach that strikes a balance between usability, security, and customer choice. In this webcast you will learn what Intelligent Authentication is and how it enables you to: Easily configure, measure, and adjust login journeys using digital signals including device, contextual, behavioral, user choice, and risk-based factors Leverage user login analytics to increase user adoption rates, and improve the customer experience Automatically redirect suspicious users for further monitoring Quickly consume out-of-the-box authenticators, utilize existing authenticators, and integrate with cyber security solutions — all in one place

Cybersecurity in business
Introduction
Because of today's international economy, securing a company's intellectual property, financial information, and good name is critical for the company's long-term survival and growth. However, with the rise in risks and cyber vulnerability, most businesses find it difficult to keep up with the competition. Since their inception, most companies have reported 16% fraud, 37.7% financial losses, and an average of over 11% share value loss, according to data compiled by the US security. Most corporations and governments are working hard to keep their customers and residents safe from harm. There are both physical and cybersecurity risks involved with these threats. According to a recent study, many company owners aren't aware of the full scope of cybersecurity. People who own their businesses must deal with various issues daily.
Nevertheless, steps are being taken to address these issues. Customers and the company are likely to be protected by the measures adopted. Cybersecurity is one of the most pressing issues facing organizations today. Leaks of a company's intellectual property and other secrets may have devastating effects on its operations, as competitors and rivals will do all in their power to stop them. is an excellent illustration of this.

Why is cyber security a disruption in the digital economyMark Albala
As we enter the digital economy, companies will quickly realize that the differentiator in the digital economy is information and information being a valuable resource is subject to theft, hacking, phishing and a host of other issues which compromise a company’s ability to participate in the digital economy. Cybersecurity misfires compromise the trust of buyers and partners necessary to participate in the digital economy. It is up to every company to ensure that the information shared with them is protected to the best of their ability and proactively notify persons and organizations who entrust their information necessary to transact business (any personal identity information including but not limited to addresses, credit card information, social security numbers, account information, credit information, medical records, etc.) with any potential compromises which can yield harm to them by that information either being used maliciously or shared with others.
The digital economy is different than other versions of commerce because in the digital economy, information is the lifeblood of digital commerce that passes through the hands of many platforms involved in a digital event. Each of these platforms are an opportunity to wreak havoc on your well-intended but incomplete intents to protect the information contained within the network you control. In the digital economy, it is not only the network you control, but the platforms that touch the personal data entrusted to you as a means of enabling digital commerce, and several techniques have begun to emerge to protect personal information contained within your information domain and the domain of platforms participating in digital commerce.
Because the life blood of the digital economy is information, information hacked in the digital economy is akin to shrinkage in the legacy economy. Both are means to directly attack your bottom line, whether it is redirecting customers elsewhere because they don’t trust your privacy program, ransomware which makes your site or one of your partner platform sites dangerous to use or some other reason which challenges your ability to participate in the digital economy. Shrinking the potential market share because of information safety and security challenges is a disruption, making cyber-security a disruptive activity, particularly if it is not dealt with swiftly.
If your cyber-security program is focused entirely on protecting the information housed in your four walls, you have exposed yourself to problems you will have difficulty in identifying both the source and the entry point of these issues.

Cyber Security and Insurance Coverage Protection: The Perfect Time for an AuditNationalUnderwriter
Cyber Security and Insurance Coverage Protection: The Perfect Time for an Audit by Lynda Bennett
2014 ended almost the same way that it began for most companies – having concerns about cyber security and hackers. At the beginning of the year, the news cycle was focused on breaches that took place in the consumer product space as Target, Michael’s, Neiman Marcus, and Home Depot worked fast and furious to address breaches that led to concerns about a massive amount of credit card information possibly being “in the open.” Later in the year, we learned that corporate giants like JPMorgan Chase and Apple were not immune from cyber security breaches as still more personally identifiable information and very personal photographs were released into the public domain. Finally, as 2014 drew to a close, the entertainment industry was further rocked by the cyber-attack on Sony Corp., which led to even broader concerns about national security and terrorist threats.

Abstract
With the evolution of technology, all businesses use the internet and other smart devices for
smooth operations in their business. The advanced use of the internet and technology has brought
many security issues for businesses. This paper focuses on the current threats faced by law firms
in terms of cyberattacks. An insight is provided on how law firms can be threatened by different
actors for information. A survey approach has been used for collecting data for this paper.

Introduction
While firms around the world are forced continuously to enhance the complexity of their
risk reduction strategies, cyber-attacks are growing steadily. A study by Lab's panda in Q3 2016
only took another 18 million malware tests. In 2017, a further report from the Division of
cybercrime and intellectual property was carrying out more than 4,000 Ransomware attacks daily

A1 - Cibersegurança - Raising the Bar for CybersecuritySpark Security
In the past few years, a new approach to cybersecurity has emerged, based on the analysis of data on successful attacks. In this approach, continuous diagnostics and mitigation replace the reactive network security methods used in the past. The approach combines continuous monitoring of network health with relatively straightforward mitigation strategies. The strategies used in this approach reduce the opportunities for attack and force attackers to develop more sophisticated (and expensive) techniques or to give up on the target. In combination, continuous monitoring and mitigation strategies provide the basis for better cybersecurity.
Many of the early adopters of cyber risk transfer were based in the US, (owing to the extremely strict legal requirement to notify all customers affected by a data breach). However recent developments are showing that cyber risks are not just a US problem. The past 18 months Aon has seen a dramatic increase in the number of companies outside the US purchasing cyber risk transfer.

What’s new with Cybersecurity in Singapore?
Abraham VERGIS & Nawaz KAMIL
With the increasing frequency of cyber-
attacks, the new Cybersecurity Bill could not
have come at a more pertinent time.
The worldwide WannaCry ransomware attack
in May 2017 affected many companies
including FedEx and Deutsche Bahn and even
the United Kingdom’s National Health Service.
This halted services by locking data, making it
inaccessible unless a ransom is paid in Bitcoin
Cryptocurrency. The main goal of a
cyberattack of this kind is the pay out from the
ransom demands. According to A10 Networks,
this type of ransomware attacks can cost up to
S$1 million worth of disruption a day and also
has the capacity to impair basic state
infrastructure.
Another type of cyberattack that had also
affected computer users in Singapore is the
Advanced Persistent Threat (APT). In April 2017,
it was found that the NUS and NTU computer
networks were breached. APT attacks are
designed to be undetectable in order to allow
unauthorised access by hackers to gain
confidential information, monitor usage and
extract highly targeted intelligence.
Law firms value information security as
breaches threaten clients’ confidentiality and
the firm’s reputation. There has been an
increase in cyber security breaches in law firms
as they are seen by hackers to be the weak link
in their ultimate targets’ security.
In 2015, the Government established the Cyber
Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) as the
primary body to manage and coordinate the
different areas of cybersecurity. The proposed
Cybersecurity Bill creates the framework to
uphold cybersecurity and on how to handle
cyber threats in order to minimise the risk of
disruption and harm.
According to the CSA, the Cybersecurity Bill
has four objectives:
1. To provide a framework for the
regulation of Critical Information
Infrastructure (CII). The Bill formalises the
duties that CII owners have in
safeguarding the cybersecurity of the
CIIs that they are responsible for.
2. To provide CSA with powers to manage
and respond to cybersecurity threats
and incidents.
3. To establish a scheme for the sharing of
cybersecurity information with and by
the CSA and for the protection of
cybersecurity information. Note that this
does not confer any right to the access
to information subject to legal privilege.
4. To introduce a ‘lighter-touch’ licensing
framework to regulate certain
cybersecurity service providers as the
Government sees it necessary that
Singapore has credible cybersecurity
services due to the increasing
prevalence of cybersecurity risks.
With regard to protecting confidential
information within the legal industry, firms must
aim to use the standards set out in the
Cybersecurity Bill as a minimum. The standard
to which a firm is to adhere must be much
higher. International disputes often involve high
profile clients or controversial issues which may
attract hackers whom interfere with the
exchange of confidential information for
various reasons like restricting access for
ransom, to survey arbitration or litigation
proceedings or strategies, or to expose
confidential information.
When deciding on the type of cybersecurity to
provide, a firm has to take the types of assets
and clients into consideration. If the firm is
engaged in an international dispute regarding
commercially valuable assets like trade secrets
or business strategies or easily monetised assets
like consumer data or credit information, the
firm and the client could face the risk of having
this information stolen by the clients’
competitors or by cybercrime organisations. It
is not unheard of for a party to surveil the
communication between clients and counsel

form of “hactivisits”, these entities are mainly
political activists who aim to expose certain
information that may be damning to the client
or firm – a recent example of this is the leak of
the Panama Papers which were held under
legal privilege by the law firm and corporate
service provider, Mossack Fonseca.
Although the steps law firms have to take in
order to ensure cyber safety for the client may
go further than what the Bill requires, the Bill
makes it so that other CIIs are kept safe and are
protected from malware which in turn lowers
the risk of cyber threats in law firms. The Bill also
ensures that entities that provide cybersecurity
services are credible and reliable, providing
law firms with better and safer infrastructure to
protect against cyber-attacks.
