Description
With data security incidents and data breaches happening daily, it’s important for the legal world to turn its judges, attorneys, support staff, and interns towards one reality—it’s NOT IF a breach or incident will occur—it’s WHEN.
These incidents are forcing courts and lawmakers to address, define, and handle these new challenges—often presenting a “case of first impression.” However, as technology continues to advance and evolve, so do our professional legal requirements with respect to upholding our duties in advising and zealously advocating for our clients, while also tackling the burden of data security itself.
During this CLE session, we will cover (1) the latest security threats in the news and what’s being done to address/remedy them, (2) explore current data breach laws, (3) how a lawyer’s professional duty may extend into new areas of technology and cyberspace, and (4) how to prepare a data incident response plan.
After completing this course, you will be able to:
• Know the latest cybersecurity threats the U.S. is facing,
• Understand how to maintain good ‘digital hygiene,’
• Distinguishing a “data breach” from a “data incident,”
• What the legal framework surrounding data breaches look like? (GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, GLBA),
• How law firms across the globe have been impacted by security breaches, and
• How to prepare a “data incident response plan” and putting together your own security team
