Cybersecurity Fraud Attorney In Clearwater
In the current era, information security is a vital piece of protecting yourself, and the government is no different. Government data chains must be secured at every level. Failure to do so can be disastrous, subjecting our Nation’s most important data to exposure by countries that do not have our best interests at heart.
At the Law Offices of Audrey Hildes Schechter, P.A., attorney Audrey Schechter has built her reputation in Clearwater and across both Florida and New York as a hard-nosed litigator in the False Claims Act cases. As a cybersecurity fraud attorney, she has fought the good fight for our clients seeking to end the practices of companies that put the public good at risk. We are here to help you do the right thing.
Understanding Cybersecurity Fraud
Cybersecurity issues arise when proper security measures are not in place. For instance, Defense Contractors must ensure that every level of the supply chain is secure. Regulations require this. Failure to have secure systems may result in an action under The False Claims Act.
A recent False Claims Act filing reveals a major cybersecurity firm was guilty of such actions as:
- Not offering adequate cybersecurity software or installation
- Not fixing flaws in their security services when brought to their attention
- Not properly staffing their offices to respond to government demands
But cybersecurity fraud can be even more insidious with intentional breaches left open to further damage national security.
If you are in a position with an entity under contract with the Department of Defense or other branches of the U.S. or State governments, and you see failures or intentional lapses in cyber security, you can take action. And if you take action, you can put an end to the bad practices and get a reward.
How Qui Tam Lawsuits Work
Authorized by the False Claims Act, a qui tam lawsuit is one you file on behalf of the government. As your whistleblower attorney, Audrey Schechter will take the lead in filing the correct paperwork, collecting evidence and fighting in court.
If we are successful on your behalf, we can secure an award for you that is a percentage of the money lost by the government to fraud. The False Claims Act shields you from retaliation by your employer. We are happy to discuss how that shield works to protect you.
