Given the agnostic nature of cyber threats facing businesses, most employees are potential targets for hackers. With ongoing regulations and new legislation pertinent to cyber concerns, attorneys are essential assets in protecting valuable data. Recognizing this, Am Law 200 law firm Robinson & Cole has appointed lawyer and cyber expert Richard Borden to its privacy and security team.

Described as “a leading voice in the cybersecurity dialogue” by firm managing partner Stephen Goldman in a statement, Borden has served in leadership roles at major financial institutions, where his focuses included information governance, data, intellectual property and cybersecurity.
