The evolution of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and data privacy means businesses face constant threats from cybercriminals looking to disrupt operations. With an interdisciplinary team of experienced attorneys, strategically positioned to address these unique challenges through collaboration, Dinsmore is a trusted partner providing tailored guidance and decisive business-centric solutions when tackling AI and cyber-associated risks. The impact of productivity losses, compromised disclosures affecting customers and employees or damage to a company's reputation can irreparably affect profits and brand image. Threats range from widespread global assaults to meticulously coordinated strikes, with each possibility posing a significant risk to an organization. As these attacks become more frequent and sophisticated with the introduction of AI based tools, bolstering company defenses is crucial.
