Cyber Considerations for Mergers and Acquisitions with Manufacturing and Distribution Companies

Merger and acquisition transactions among manufacturing and distribution companies are on the rise as companies try to capitalize off of capital developed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Emily Richi, partner in our Manufacturing and Distribution Practice, sits down with Kevin Ricci, principal in our Technology, Risk Advisory, and Cybersecurity (TRAC) Practice, to discuss how cyber breaches can negatively impact the transaction process and how companies can build their defense to alleviate this risk.
