Data Privacy and Cybersecurity in Private Equity M&A: Key Risks & Solutions

Why should private equity investors pay attention to cyber risks in the M&A process? When should a cybersecurity risk assessment be conducted?  What are the potential risks of a cybersecurity breach at any point in the investment lifecycle?
