Tech Tips: Cybersecurity and Ethical Pitfalls of Everyday Law Office Computing
Practicing anywhere at any time is no longer just a dream for lawyers, it is a reality, from smartphones, laptops, and tablets, to the use of cloud-based tools. Wi-Fi hotspots have changed the paradigm of the modern legal practice, but that new freedom requires both heightened security practices and ethical standards. In this session, we will discuss the ethical pitfalls of mobile, cloud and everyday law office computing. We will learn about cloud options and address how to safely store documents, data and programs in the cloud and on mobile devices. Learn what programs and features you should and must use with cloud storage options like Dropbox, Box and OneDrive. We also will discuss security vulnerabilities related to documents, redaction, emails, and the potential trouble you can get into with metadata. Finally, we will discuss how to properly delete client data, assign passwords, and dispose of computer equipment while protecting client privacy.
