"Businesses recognize that cybersecurity preparedness, the stewardship of sensitive information, and proper digital risk management are indispensable to their growth and success. Conversely, inadequate preparation and data breaches can trigger significant legal, reputational, and financial damage if not addressed appropriately," said Robert Brenner, Global Co-Managing Partner and Global Head of Investigations and Disputes at K2 Integrity. "Jason's expertise will not only bolster our cybersecurity programs but also enhance our investigative capacity in non-cyber fraud situations, bringing added value to our clients globally. His leadership will be instrumental in advancing our mission to help organizations navigate complex risk and safeguard their operations."
A lawyer by training currently admitted to practice in New York, Mr. Straight brings practical, hands-on experience to his client work as well as a nuanced understanding of technical digital challenges, regulatory insights, and best practices related to privacy and cybersecurity. He is a frequent speaker, author, and media resource often asked to offer his insights on these topics and on emerging risks to security and privacy.
"Having helped companies build their cybersecurity and privacy defenses and guide their responses to potentially existential breaches, the one constant I've identified is that companies can never be complacent or satisfied with their planning," remarked Mr. Straight. "K2 Integrity is dedicated to working side by side with clients to address these issues and I'm excited to continue to grow the firm's industry-leading services focused on protecting companies' digital operations."
