Cybersecurity is a key topic of growing concern for benefit plans, as evidenced by increased attention from the ERISA Advisory Council. In webinar, John Eustice, Erin Sweeney,* and Nicholas Wamsley* discussed what benefit plan fiduciaries need to know about cybersecurity in order to protect the plan, protect plan participants, and satisfy their fiduciary duties. Topics covered included prioritizing and protecting sensitive data, necessary safeguards for hiring vendors with access to participant data, legal developments to watch, and litigation risks.
