Data protection lawyer named to Cybersecurity Docket’s Incident Response 40 list

Global Co-Head of Data Protection, Privacy and Cybersecurity Chris Cwalina (Washington, DC) has been named to Cybersecurity Docket's Incident Response 40 for 2021.

Cybersecurity Docket, a digital publication which provides comprehensive news and commentary about cybersecurity, data breach and incident response topics, announced the names of this year's Incident Response 40 at the conclusion of the Incident Response Forum.

This recognition marks the third consecutive year Cwalina has been listed to the Incident Response 40.

According to its website, this year's Incident Response 40 'lists the best data breach response lawyers in the business,' and lists those who are regularly the 'first call for companies hit with a cyber-attack or other data security incident.'

In addition to doing its own substantial research to arrive at its final list of honorees, the publication accepted outside nominations and gathered feedback from senior lawyers and other professionals in the field.

To qualify for the list attorneys must have worked in the private sector for at least two years and have a practice dedicated to data breach response work.

Cwalina concentrates his international practice on cybersecurity and privacy compliance and program development, with a focus on complex cybersecurity attack and data breach investigations, primarily involving sophisticated threat actor groups and advanced persistent threats focused on critical infrastructure entities.
