It is no secret that cyber attackers consider law firms to be rich sources of valuable data. Escalating risks and client expectations mandate that regardless of firm size, lawyers treat cybersecurity as a core element of their legal practice.
How much protection you need depends on the state of your technology systems, legal considerations such as applicable ethical rules, government and industry regulations, data protection laws, and client security requirements. It is also crucial to consider and strike the appropriate balance between security and operability. Although cost is certainly a factor, many essential steps are scalable and affordable for all firms.

This presentation will focus on 10 practical steps that will enable the smaller firm to identify its risks, take appropriate action, and protect its systems and clients.
