Cybersecurity – Strategies from legal experts, for legal experts

Is your firm aware of the risks of cyber-attacks?

In the wake of the recent reprimand by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) against a law firm that failed to implement sufficient security measures, which subsequently allowed hackers to access secure cloud-based servers and publish data on the dark web – we are joined by legal and regulatory specialists from rradar’s Cyber, Data and Information Law team who will share their sector insights on building a robust cyber-attack response plan for your organisation.

With today’s continuously developing digital landscape, the threat of cyber-attacks looms larger than ever – which makes it a fundamental consideration for the national and indeed, international, legaltech community.

This peer-to-peer knowledge sharing session is designed for those with responsibility for IT, data compliance or cyber security within their organisation, who wishes to refresh their knowledge of existing cyber threats, learn of emerging threats, and minimise potential exposure. The event is open to anyone who is part of, or contributes to, the legaltech in Leeds community.

What you will learn

• Analysis of a recent cyber incident affecting a law firm: Understand what happened, and what could have been done to prevent or minimise damage caused.

• Identifying key threats: Understand the most common and emerging cyber threats

• Legal compliance: A reminder of the latest legal requirements and industry best practices to provide robust protection in case of an attack.
