Description:
Digitization
offers law firms significant opportunities, but also presents huge
threats. While many of the top law firms are greatly progressing in
their cyber security efforts, a vast majority of small to mid-sized
firms still do not fully understand the risks and implications of
failing to adequately protect their rich repositories of personal
information, corporate secrets and intellectual property.
This presentation will provide a snapshot of IT Security threats facing law firms today and the importance of focusing on cyber security efforts.
