Partner Janis Kestenbaum was quoted in Bloomberg BNA: Privacy Law Watch article titled, "FTC Blogs Help Define Reasonable Data Security, Attorneys Say" commenting on the important tips and best practices provided by the FTC’s weekly data security investigation blogs for companies in the FTC’s jurisdiction.

Janis C. Kestenbaum, a commercial litigation partner in the privacy and security practice at Perkins Coie LLP in Washington, told Bloomberg BNA that the FTC's blog posts “reinforce what the agency considers good data security practices, and help to flesh out some of the agency's prior guidance.”

According to Kestenbaum, “the line between what will be deemed ‘reasonable’ versus ‘unreasonable’ security is not always apparent, even to sophisticated businesses.” She said that “any additional guidance is helpful for businesses of any size, not just small businesses.”
