Overview

One of the key challenges facing lawyers and law firms today is how to effectively respond to the increasing risk of cybercrime and cyber incidents. This course focuses on cyber risk in the context of legal practice and how you can protect your clients and your practice against these risks.

Cyber risk affects everyone – from small businesses to multinational organisations. Lawyers and law firms are particularly vulnerable to cybercrime and cyber incidents due to the type of information and transactions they manage. How lawyers respond to these challenges as impacts upon both their professional and risk management obligations.

This course focuses on the specific cyber risks that lawyers and law firms face, including practical steps to identify, prevent and remediate these risks. The types of cyber risks covered include:

  • impersonation fraud;
  • phishing and spearphishing;
  • use of email to compromise other critical accounts;
  • theft of confidential data and identity fraud;
  • ransomware and other malicious software; and
  • the role of human error in cyber incidents.

    Cyber security problems
    The course challenges the basic understanding of the subject by making one aware of the complexity, diversity and prevalence of cyber crime. My first port of call is --have I been pawned. Then I shall immediately improve my passwords and probably my user name as well. Thank you for the wake-up call.
