Data Security: What All Lawyers Need to Know

Organizations are increasingly under siege from a variety of electronic-based threats. They range from malicious insiders and cyber criminals to lax internal protocols and unsecured corporate networks. While these factors have posed eDiscovery challenges for years, they are particularly troubling at this time. With employees increasingly using consumer-grade cloud applications to commit corporate espionage, with cyberattacks on the rise, and as the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to proliferate, clients and counsel must take proactive steps to prepare for these threats. This includes developing actionable procedures to address problems arising from electronic threats and vulnerabilities that are beyond the traditional realm of eDiscovery.

Topics to be covered include:

  • Recognizing the nature and scope of threats posed by personal cloud use, cyberattacks, and the IoT
  • Developing actionable policies and enforcement mechanisms to protect against threats and strengthen vulnerabilities
  • Understanding the role that analytics can play in enforcing internal protocols and detecting cyber-risks
