Partner [Alysa Hutnik](/Our-People/Alysa-Z-Hutnik) co-authored the *InsideCounsel* article ​“Life’s a Breach: Make a New Year’s Resolution to be Prepared.” In this article they examine data breach trends in the retail industry and give advice for avoiding the same issues in 2015 by listing pre-beach and post-breach ​“resolutions.” They suggest that it is never too late to reduce risk by reviewing and optimizing policies and procedures and understanding the common pitfalls that increase the costs or delay notification of a data breach.
