REPLAY: Cybersecurity: How to Protect Yourself and Keep the Hackers at Bay (2022) Date: Thursday, April 27, 2023 Time: Noon - 1 p.m. Credits: 1.0 G |
An attorney’s decision to use a computer tablet, a
cloud-based service, a smart phone, a public Wi-Fi network, or a free email
account in the furtherance of delivering legal services is not, in and of
itself, unethical or necessarily a poor business decision. The real concern is
with what the attorneys who use such tools do or do not do with them. For
example, portable devices, which includes backup drives, can be lost or stolen;
rogue programs that capture banking passwords, encrypt your data, or steal your
data can be unintentionally downloaded; and this list goes on and on. These
kinds of breaches are often the result of common missteps such as lax security
procedures, falling victim to a social engineering attack and even simple
ignorance about how a given device works or what a computer app or program
really does. This ethics program will discuss various cyberattack vectors and
share practical advice on how to manage the risk of a breach.
