An Ethical Cybersecurity Playbook for the New Normal in Law Practice

September 27, 2021 12:00 PM-1:00 PM

We saw law firm after law firm breached in the pandemic. There are lessons aplenty to be learned. We can and must do better to protect confidential data and to become competent with technology as demanded of lawyers by Rules of Professional Conduct rules 1.1 and 1.6. We are never going back to practicing law as we did in 2019, so here is a sampling of what our experts will focus on in this new ethical cybersecurity playbook.

  • The new rules for making the work-from-home environment secure
  • Defending against and recovering from ransomware
  • Why VPNs will be replaced by Zero Trust Architecture
  • How law firms will move away from passwords
  • Automating updates and patches securely
  • Encryption and multi-factor authentication
  • Secure file sharing
