Cyber Security Ethics – Safeguarding Client Data in Today’s Emerging Hybrid Practice, June 29th, 2022 @ 12PM C.S.T.

The pandemic transformed the legal profession in ways that were unimaginable not long ago. The 2021 ABA Legal Technology Report shows just how dramatic that change has been.

The presenter of this webinar, David G. Ries, is a national thought leader in the burgeoning field of Cybersecurity Ethics. He is author of the Cybersecurity Chapter for the ABA TechReport 2021 and the book Locked Down: Practical Information Security for Lawyers (ABA 2016). In this webinar, Ries will examine surveys, statistics and trends data of the 2021 ABA TechReport to extract valuable pointers for keeping your practice safe, ethical and successful.

Attendees will learn how technology and cybersecurity affect their ethical obligations, including compliance with the Rules of Professional Conduct. They will discover best practices for safeguarding client data, maintaining technological competence, and running a virtual law practice. And they will learn how to put Cybersecurity Ethics into practice to protect their firms, clients and data.
