Cybersecurity

Arnold & Porter's Cybersecurity team litigates data security breach cases, counsels on a full range of compliance, regulatory, and liability issues, represents government contractors in procurement-related cybersecurity matters, and advises clients on strategy and policy matters involving cyber capabilities, defensive and offensive cyber operations, and vulnerability management. Government contractors face particular cybersecurity challenges because, while they are subject to many of the same regulatory requirements and cyber challenges as other companies, they also face US government procurement mandates related to the protection of US government information and networks, and must meet requirements arising from the security clearances that the contractors hold. Our government contracts lawyers work closely with colleagues across the firm to meet the specialized cybersecurity needs of defense, aerospace, Internet, software, hardware, and other companies doing business with the federal government.
