The announcement of a record year in several areas of False Claims Act enforcement at the Department of Justice (DOJ) was accompanied by a warning that more significant cases are coming, particularly regarding cybersecurity-related claims.
“[W]e will continue to dedicate resources to investigating companies that fail to comply with their cybersecurity obligations,” said Civil Division Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian Boynton in remarks delivered Thursday at a Federal Bar Association conference. “We expect these cases to continue to be a significant area of enforcement in the coming years.”
