THOMSON REUTERS, PILLSBURY, FIREEYE ALIGN TO PROVIDE CYBERSECURITY COMPLIANCE PROGRAM

NEW YORK, November 14, 2016 – Spurred by the growing and often contradictory cybersecurity regulatory burden facing companies, Thomson Reuters, Pillsbury and FireEye have formed an industry- first collaboration to help corporations meet new regulations and manage risk related to cybersecurity. This alliance affords institutions expertise and resources from a holistic, multi-pronged approach to cybersecurity risk assessment and due diligence that combines legal counsel, technical assessments and legal managed services to help meet a variety of internal, external and regulatory standards. As targeted attacks become more sophisticated, complex and commonplace, organizations cannot rely on the patchwork of industry standards to use as a base for their cybersecurity or risk management program. Each organization should determine its own risk and address any issues or concerns before a problem arises. However, even a casual review of the news shows that many organizations are not meeting this seemingly minimal obligation with widespread success. The alliance between Thomson Reuters, Pillsbury and FireEye provides the resources and guidance organizations can rely upon to help manage cyberrisk, especially as additional regulations in this area expand and evolve. Pillsbury, a leading international law firm, will help companies navigate the myriad regulations, standards and guidelines they face as well as provide them with legal counsel related to compliance and risk management. The Thomson Reuters Legal Managed Services team will leverage its experience and efficient processes to review contracts and agreements with third-party suppliers and assist in implementing key changes to such processes or agreements advised by Pillsbury. FireEye, an industry-leading cybersecurity company, will perform the technical risk assessments, advanced testing and response readiness to help each organization’s defense posture match the threats to their specific industry and operations.
