If cybercrime was a country, it would be the third largest economy behind only China and the United States. By 2028, the annual cost of cybercrime worldwide is expected to approach $15 trillion. Attorneys must be educated on the risks associated with cybersecurity in order to protect their firms and clients.
Your law firm’s cybersecurity is only as strong as your weakest link: your employees. 95% of all successful cyber breaches are due to human behavior. In the CLE Tom Kirkham will describe the extent of the cybercrime threat to your law firm, address strategies & trainings and he will conclude by introducing you to the 3 pillar methodology to protect your law firm. Additional topics: the size & scale of the hacking industry, what is at risk for attorneys, common shortfalls, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, exploiting human factors & behavior, psychological warfare, why training fails, plan & act, Cybersecurity Defense Systems, IT Infrastructure, governance, and Managed Cybersecurity Services (MSSP). With these strategies that Tom details, you can create a security-first culture that will help your law firm survive and thrive in the face of the cyber pandemic. This program is designed for attorneys at any level of practice in any field of law.
