Counsel’s Code: 10 Cybersecurity Practices to Adopt

In the digital age, where information is a currency, cybersecurity is not just a buzzword, it is a fundamental element of business strategy. From major banks to small businesses, cyber hygiene is critical for anyone who owns a device with a screen or who has made a password for an account. Today even one compromised access credential can be the Achilles heel of an organization’s entire cybersecurity posture. The stakes grow exponentially for attorneys and law firms, the parties entrusted with safeguarding sensitive client information. Ignorance is no longer an option. Not ensuring adequate protection of client information can be incredibly costly. Not only is it damaging financially, but it can destroy a firm’s reputation and shatter client trust. This is why it is critical for attorneys to understand the importance of securing client data and implement best practices. Even the most fundamental cyber strategy can put a firm ahead of the curve. Understanding cybersecurity is not merely a choice; but an ethical obligation and a critical component of responsible legal practice.  

In this webinar our expert panelists will begin by demystifying cybersecurity and defining data breaches to emphasize why cybersecurity demands the attention of attorneys and law firms. For the heart of the webinar, our panelists outline ten cybersecurity best practices law firms should adopt in order to secure their client data. Finally, our panelists will briefly emphasize the importance of focusing on prevention. It is an unfortunate truth that data breaches are inevitable. But by acknowledging this inevitability, the focus can begin to shift towards implementing proactive strategies. Nothing can be done to completely eradicate the risk of a data breach but there are effective preventative measures that can mitigate potential damage.
