Working from Home Safely: Cybersecurity & Ethical Considerations - Webinar
When working from home, many lawyers and staff are using home PCs and saving client documents/data on those computers. Although undeniably convenient, we as legal professionals remain responsible for producing quality work while maintaining client confidence. In this webinar, we will discuss the ethical and malpractice pitfalls of working remotely and how to address them, including Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1, 1.6, 5.1, and 5.3, along with their respective comments. We will also discuss the need for full disk encryption, email encryption, home wireless router security, Windows updates, antivirus/malware, cloud options, and how to tighten up security when using Dropbox, Box, One-Drive, or Google Drive. While this all may sound overwhelming, there are many things that you can do right away that are free, or next to free, that will make a big impact!
