In cooperation with AEC, HAVEL & PARTNERS launches a 24/7 hotline to help clients hit by cyberattacks

31. 01. 2022

In cooperation with leading Czech cybersecurity experts at AEC, HAVEL & PARTNERS, the largest Czech-Slovak law firm, has launched the CYBER DEFENSE CENTER emergency hotline for companies being threatened by a cyberattack. The telephone line is in operation around the clock, providing clients facing an emergency with service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

In their practice, cybersecurity and technology specialists at HAVEL & PARTNERS have increasingly had to deal with cyberattacks aimed at companies, public institutions, and start-ups. This trend is supported by a growing number of cyberattacks reported to the National Cyber and Information Security Agency. In 2020, firms, organizations, and public institutions notified the agency of a total of 468 cyberattack incidents, twice as many as the year before.

Data and information are one of the most valuable assets of each organization. Data corruption or theft may have far-reaching consequences. “Cyberattacks are digital fires. Our motto is ´Connected through Success´, and if there is anything that can jeopardize success, we are ready to assist our clients in their defense. That is why together with AEC, we have decided to establish an emergency telephone line, which companies facing a cyber threat can contact at any time,” said partner Robert Nešpůrek about the new service.

If an organization does not have its own Security Operations Center, the CYBER DEFENSE CENTER line is an easily accessible and very useful solution in the event of a security incident. AEC experts are available around the clock to provide instant assistance and explain how to proceed step by step to fend off the attack as fast as possible, and thereby to minimize any potential damage.

AEC is one of the major European security service providers with one of the strongest ICT security teams in Central Europe. Its staff includes over 50 consultants with many years of relevant experience and the highest internationally acknowledged certifications. All this ensures that clients receive service based on top expertise.

The fact that the number of cyberattacks have skyrocketed should convince everybody that data security is not to be underestimated. The most powerful defense is prevention. An experienced HAVEL & PARTNERS team of more than thirty technology and cybersecurity lawyers have provided thousands of hours of legal advisory on data protection and assessment. They have handled hundreds of data projects and mastered the best practices tried and tested in international transactions. They assist our clients in finding the best practical solutions for cyber threat prevention setups and data protection, and can help them effectively remedy the consequences of security incidents.
