As businesses increasingly rely on interconnected digital services, determining where responsibility lies when something goes wrong can become increasingly complex.
Steven W. Teppler, Chair of Mandelbaum Barrett PC’s Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Practice Group, addresses this evolving issue in his article, “Distributed Digital Liability: Understanding Accountability in Disaggregated Digital Operations,” published in the Intellectual Property & Technology Law Journal.
The article examines how legal accountability is evolving as organizations increasingly depend on cloud services, artificial intelligence, software providers, and other third parties to support critical digital operations. As these functions become distributed across multiple providers, platforms, and technologies, questions surrounding responsibility and liability become increasingly important for businesses to consider.
Through his analysis, Steven explores the intersection of cybersecurity, technology, and legal accountability in today’s increasingly interconnected digital environment. The article offers insight into an issue that continues to grow in importance as organizations adopt new technologies and rely on outside providers to support essential operations.
