Cybersecurity: Best Practices for Protecting Your Law Firm or Legal Practice
Information Technology & Intellectual Property Law / Law Practice Management
Original Program Date: March 31, 2015
Whether or not you have a paperless office, the reality of legal practice today is that significant quantities of confidential information is stored in electronic formats. While advances in technology provide opportunities for you to increase your practice efficiency, such opportunities come with inherent risks as cybercriminals identify law firms and legal practices as a goldmine of confidential information. Unintentional “data leakage” can also threaten the confidentiality of your electronic data. Ensure that your law firm or legal practice is protected from cyber-risks with this essential program. Our expert faculty will share key advice and practical tools, including:
- Making sense of the dangers
- Unraveling your professional obligations and potential liability
- Critical strategies for breach prevention, including standards, technology, and training
- Managing the unique challenges arising from mobile devices
