Presented by the Cyber Security Committee, Solo/Small Firm Section, Young Lawyers Section
About the Program
Join this panel of well-respected subject matter leaders. They will discuss significant changes to the state’s data breach statute and qualifying for CT’s new Cybersecurity Safe Harbor statute. The IT Security panel member will share practical and effective cybersecurity measures that practitioners can implement immediately to protect their firms as well as provide background on an accepted cybersecurity framework included in the Cybersecurity Safe Harbor Statute. Finally, the panel will explain the differences between attorneys’ ethical obligations to notify clients and obligations under counterpart consumer and healthcare data breach laws.
You Will Learn
• About the most prevalent cybersecurity threats and the potentially huge damage they can inflict
• The basics of NIST’s framework for containing those risks – and the correlation between that framework and qualifying for CT’s new safe harbor
• Concrete steps that firms can take now to improve cybersecurity posture
• How and why professional responsibility rules sometimes require notice to clients before state or federal regulations do
Who Should Attend
