This CLE course focuses on existing cybersecurity concerns that have been amplified, and new security concerns that have arisen as a consequence of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Threat-actors have recognized a unique opportunity to exploit pandemic-related vulnerabilities through social engineering attacks, business email compromise, work from home or other remoting.

This results in increased risk and occurrence of ransomware attacks and data breaches that can disrupt or totally compromise clients – and their attorneys – ability to conduct business. These security incidents can also subject victims to liability for violations of privacy and data breach notification laws. This webinar will discuss these threats, and how both attorneys (and their clients) can act to reduce the chance of being successfully targeted in the current cyber threat landscape.
