Course Description:

An attorney’s decision to use a computer tablet, a cloud-based service, a smartphone, a public Wi-Fi network, or a free email account in the furtherance of delivering legal services is not, in and of itself, unethical or necessarily a poor business decision. The real concern is with what the attorneys who use such tools do or don’t do with them. For example, portable devices, including backup drives, can be lost or stolen; rogue programs that capture banking passwords, encrypt your data, or steal your data can be unintentionally downloaded; and the list goes on. These breaches often result from common missteps, such as lax security procedures, falling victim to social engineering attacks, and simple ignorance of how a device works or what a program does. This ethics program will discuss various cyberattack vectors and provide practical advice on managing breach risk.

A Sampling of Attendee Takeaways:

  • An awareness of the numerous ways office computer networks can be breached.

  • An explanation as to why a firm’s efforts to prevent a breach can’t be left to IT support alone.

  • Identification of the basic steps one must take to try to prevent a network breach, coupled with an understanding of an attorney’s ethical obligations to take such steps.   

  • Knowledge of how wire fraud occurs to include practical tips on how to identify and avoid these scams.
