Happy U.S. National Cybersecurity Awareness Month! One year ago, in recognition of the Department of Homeland Security's annual campaign to raise awareness about cybersecurity, Orrick's Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Group launched its award winning blog Trust Anchor.

Almost daily we hear news about data breaches, cybersecurity and privacy enforcement proceedings, litigation, and new laws and regulations. Trust Anchor covers it all: recent cases, legislative and regulatory developments, emerging compliance standards and best practices for cybersecurity and privacy risk management, insurance trends and more! But, we don't just report on these events, we highlight key takeaways and what these developments mean for you.

In honor of our one year anniversary we are bringing back blog posts that you, our readers, have told us are your favorites!

Thank you for your readership as we all work together to keep our data safe!
