Global cybercrime damages are expected to exceed $6 trillion annually by 2021. From hacks of mobile payment and other non-traditional payment systems to data manipulation and sabotage, the external threats to operations and customer and investor perception seem to increase daily. We recently sat down with cybersecurity expert William S. Rogers Jr. of Prince Lobel Tye LLP, a Boston law firm whose attorneys handle matters of local, regional, national and international reach. Rogers, who is chair of the firm’s Data Privacy and Security Practice Group, discussed cybersecurity regulation and its impact on public and private companies.

The Sharon Merrill team would like to welcome 2018 with our rendition of a new year's classic.
May last year’s losses be forgot,
And profits maximized,
The market’s soaring to new heights,
New tax plans emphasized
Chorus:
For all this crazy year has brought,
This insanely wacky year,
The folks on Wall Street don’t seem to mind,
Since investors have no fear

Q: Thank you very much for being here, Bill. Can you tell us about Modern Markets Initiative? What are your goals?
A: Modern Markets Initiative first came together in late 2013. Our mission has always been to educate people about what high-frequency trading is, how it works and most importantly, how it saves a lot of money for investors and continues to do so every day. Also, we wanted to serve as a resource to let investors and issuers alike understand the important role of high frequency trading in the trading ecosystem.

(to the tune of “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”)
It’s the most opportune time of the year
With the calendar limping
Valuations dipping
Investors still hear
It’s the most opportune time of the year
