As a Champion of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM), Mayer Brown is committed to cybersecurity and online safety. Throughout October, in thought leadership materials and programs, we will offer insights on key legal issues and developments affecting cybersecurity in the United States.

A Guide to Cybersecurity Regulation in the United States: Governing Frameworks and Emerging Trends

Managing regulatory risk has become an important element of companies' cybersecurity programs, as regulators use rules, enforcement actions and guidance to establish an increasingly complex framework of regulatory expectations. Our 80-page book, Cybersecurity Regulation in the United States: Governing Frameworks and Emerging Trends, describes the regulatory frameworks across key sectors of the United States economy as well as emerging regulatory trends across these sectors.

Authored by lawyers in our global Cybersecurity & Data Privacy practice, the guide addresses a wide range of industry sectors, from banks to connected devices to insurance, and covers federal agencies from the Federal Trade Commission to the Department of Defense. It is designed to:

  • Guide companies as they evaluate their regulatory obligations regarding cybersecurity
  • Assist businesses in identifying priority issues and emerging trends in cybersecurity regulation
  • Help board members, senior management, in-house counsel and other stakeholders minimize financial, reputational and legal risk
