Ethics: Practical and Budget-Friendly Cybersecurity for Lawyers Date: Friday, March 31, 2023 Time: 11 a.m. - Noon Credits: 1.0 EP |
Lawyers have an ethical duty to be
competent and to keep their client data confidential. Clients too want to keep
their confidential data protected. All too often, information security is not
prioritized by law firms. It costs money to protect data and businesses
frequently resist budgeting for security, even though an ounce of prevention is
far less expensive than a pound of cure. Investigating and remediating data
breaches is hideously expensive, not to mention the necessity of complying with
state data breach notification laws. But there are a host of free and budget
friendly tips. Our presenters will cover:
