Andrew Lustigman Quoted in AdExchanger.Com on Cybersecurity Practices

Olshan Advertising Partner Andrew Lustigman was quoted extensively by AdExchanger.com, an online trade publication that provides news and analysis dedicated to the data-driven marketing space, on the issue of cybersecurity practices.

Additionally he notes the FTC can potentially use the court’s ruling as precedent to address broader cybersecurity protocol failures. Read the full article here.
