Course Description:

Let's talk ethics! This one-hour course covers the ethical rules involved in cybersecurity in a work-from-home environment and offers practical, budget-friendly tips for making this new environment secure.

In the digital age, safeguarding sensitive data has reached new heights. Law firms handle sensitive client information, making them attractive targets for cybercriminals. The responsibility of everyone in the law firm to protect client information doesn't fade just because the office setting has changed. Is your firm taking every possible step to safeguard client data? Ethical obligations require law firms to invest in advanced security measures to protect their clients' confidential information. Encryption, multi-factor authentication, and social engineering awareness training are just a few of the areas firms should prioritize. This course provides you with actionable steps your firm can take to foster a culture of vigilance, ensuring everyone plays their part in maintaining a secure work environment. 

Learning Objectives: 

  • Identify current cybersecurity threats and trends impacting law firms, particularly since the shift to remote work.

  • Explain the ethical obligations under professional conduct rules related to protecting client data in digital and remote work environments.

  • Evaluate the adequacy of their firm's cybersecurity protocols in light of evolving risks and ethical standards.

  • Implement practical, cost-effective cybersecurity measures, including encryption, multi-factor authentication, and secure communication practices.
