Effective Security Awareness

(it’s not just for lawyers anymore)

 

Joe Buser

Traveling Coaches, Inc.

 

Effective information security is no longer the domain of the IT department.  The weakest link in the security chain is (and has always been) our people.  Lawyers and staff alike (in fact, everyone with a login) are a potential target for cyber criminals.  Not only are clients’ private and confidential information at risk, the reputation of the firm could suffer irreversible damage if a data breach were to become public.

 

Join us and see why 87,000 lawyers and their staff are taking a programmatic approach to change the underlying behaviors that put the firm at risk.  Learn how to create and sustain a culture of security at your firm.  Move from a reactive to a proactive security posture with risk assessment, social engineering and penetration testing, vendor management, audit preparation, and business continuity planning.  Then consider if a Virtual Information Security Officer is right for your firm.

 

Learning Objectives

 

  • The reason why security awareness is not an IT problem.
  • The reasons why firms of every size and every practice area are potential targets.
  • Why training alone isn’t sufficient to protect the firm from cyber criminals.
  • The 5 phases required to modify behavior.
  • The essential elements of a risk mitigation program.
  • What is a Virtual Information Security Office and who should have one.
