About
This certificate course is a free web-based training that contains a total of 8 recorded sessions and 8 quizzes. This course is a great fit for lawyers, legal aid groups, pro bono and non-profit firms to learn key concepts of cyber security to secure their client data and learn the ways to tackle the evolving cyber threat landscape.
Lawyers are increasing their use of technology to serve the needs of their clients. The benefits of this technology are self-evident. However, this increasing dependency comes at the price of ensuring adequate cyber security to protect client information, maintain ethical duties, and comply with the regulations. It is the mission of this summit to provide ways to tackle these technological challenges for the legal industry.
