December 23: Breached! Cybersecurity 101

 With data security incidents and data breaches happening daily, it’s important for attorneys to turn towards one reality—it’s NOT IF a breach or incident will occur—it’s WHEN. These incidents are forcing government agencies, companies, law firms, etc. to address, define, and handle these challenges. As cloud technology and big-data analytics have become the norm, cybersecurity risks have increased and it is more important than ever to have both an avoidance and a response plan in place. 

During this 60-minute 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) the roles and responsibilities of government agencies, and 
(4) how to prepare a data breach avoidance plan as well as a data breach response plan. 
After completing this course, you will be able to: 
  • Know the latest cybersecurity threats the U.S. is facing
  • Understand the different roles and responsibilities of various agencies
  • What the legal framework surrounding data breaches look like?
  • How both government entities and companies across the globe have been impacted by cyber breaches; and
  • How to prepare both a “data breach avoidance plan” as well as a “data breach response plan.”
