- Explore the current top two threats to law firms: ransomware and business e-mail compromises

- Understand the difference between a cyber-incident and a data breach
- Examine reporting requirements in the event of a data breach
The ABA’s 2021 Legal Technology Survey Report revealed a striking statistic. 25% of the survey’s respondents reported that their law firm had been breached at some time. Clearly, law firms are an attractive target for cybercriminals—with a plethora of data about so many people and businesses, law firms are a one-stop shop for harvesting a wealth of information.
This session will review your ethical duties to be competent with technology, to protect your confidential data, and to supervise subordinate attorneys, law firm personnel, and vendors who have access to your data to ensure compliance with these duties.
Only 36% of law firms have an Incident Response Plan (IRP), a shameful statistic. This CLE will discuss the elements of a successful IRP, the need for annual reviews and the necessity of holding tabletop exercises to “test” the plan.
