Class Action Litigation: Cyber & Data Privacy Landscape (Webinar Replay)

Expert insight and advice on minimizing litigation risks from cyber and data privacy incidents.

Minimize litigation risks from cyber and data privacy incidents

Over recent years, both Beazley and TruStage have observed significant uptick in class action lawsuits resulting from data privacy and cybersecurity incidents. These lawsuits are becoming more and more common, impacting a multitude of industries, including financial services. Historically, class action lawsuits would be filed following notification to individuals and regulators, and would typically number in the tens of thousands. Today, class action lawsuits are being filed even before notification is issued, and classes are reducing in size, some reportedly even being in the hundreds.

But there are steps you can take to protect your organization. This webinar discusses the status of the current data privacy class action litigation landscape and touches upon important topics including:

The different types of cyber class actions that plaintiff law firms are filing, from data breach to biometric privacy to adtech/wiretap
How plaintiff attorneys find their clients
Why plaintiff attorneys file certain cyber class action lawsuits but not others
How courts are addressing these lawsuits
Steps credit unions can take to mitigate or transfer the risks giving rise to these threats
