Sharon Nelson Quoted in Virginia Lawyers Weekly

June 8, 2017

Sharon Nelson was quoted in “Cybersecurity – Law firms setting up cyber specialties as attacks grows” by Pepper Van Tassell and Gina Gallucci-White featured in Virginia Lawyers Weekly.

Sharon’s quotes:

• “Law firms are always scanning the horizon, and cybersecurity is not only a Goliath, but it is a Goliath that is never going away.”
• “ We are here to stay in the digital world, and data is black gold. Data is the new oil, and having seen that, law firms are very responsive.”
• “ With the larger firms in particular, they want people to have one-stop shopping, and if they don’t have people in these fields, they are not offering one-stop shopping. If their clients get breached, it is a very expensive proposition. One part of that is legal fees, so of course they would like those legal fees to adhere to them.”

Excerpt: “When it comes to tracked data breaches, The United States hit an all-time high last year with 1,093 reported breaches. That is a nearly 40 percent increase from 780 documented cases the previous year, according to a study released in January by Identity Theft Resource Center in San Diego and CyberScout in Scottsdale, Arizona.”
