Description
The threat of cybersecurity breaches is looming large. Corporations are increasingly concerned about how their organisations will be impacted by security lapses, and are increasingly challenged by the demands of consumers and regulators alike in keeping hackers at bay and safeguarding customer data. This session will explore what major cyberthreats are faced by law firms and their clients, and how they should address them. It will also focus on the risks which may arise if the company has not managed to address the respective threats adequately and how its liability can be minimised.
