In collaboration with S-RM, members of Orrick’s Cyber, Privacy & Data Innovation team contributed to a new cyber security ‘jargon buster’ published by Thomson Reuters Practical Law. This helpful glossary is for anyone tasked with understanding cybersecurity, especially professionals dealing with cyber incidents or the complex reports produced post-incident. From Honeypot to Horizontal Privilege Escalation, the definitions in this guide are organized in alphabetical order and cover four categories, including:

Day-to-day operations
Cyber incidents
Attacker techniques and modus operandi
Forensic investigation-related terms.

Hanna Hewitt Associate

London

Hanna has a knack for tracking the detail, which proves to be invaluable for clients when managing cyber incidents. Whilst working with a range of clients from FTSE100 to early-stage companies, Hanna oversees and helps keep multiple workstreams on track, seamlessly integrating with client’s internal incident response teams.

She assists clients throughout the lifecycle of a cyber incident: helping with immediate response, working with forensic providers to eradicate and contain cyber threats, and advising them on their regulatory and contractual obligations in respect of notification. Both pre- and post-cyber incident, Hanna also supports clients with ongoing cyber-risk management, to help mitigate regulatory and third-party risk. This includes helping clients navigate post-cyber incident litigation to the extent required.

When cyber incidents aren’t keeping her busy, Hanna also provides privacy advisory support, advising clients on the GDPR and other international data protection laws, including data retention, processing and transfer.

Hanna trained at Orrick and during her training contract also gained experience in litigation, corporate (Technology Companies Group) and competition.
