Before You Buy the Breach: Cybersecurity Lessons for M&A

Breaches are difficult enough to identify, contain, and remediate. In the world of mergers and acquisitions, they can become even more complicated. This webinar explores the cybersecurity risks that may come bundled with a new acquisition, merger, or business transaction, including inherited breaches, unknown compromises, weak controls, exposed data, and vulnerable infrastructure.

 

We will examine who may carry responsibility when a security incident predates or overlaps a transaction, whether cyber insurance is likely to respond, and how integrating with a less trusted environment can affect your existing security posture. Attendees will learn how M&A activity can introduce hidden cyber risk, what questions security teams should ask before and after a deal, and how to reduce the chance of expensive buyer’s remorse.
