Free Lexis CLE tomorrow at 2 p.m. Central: “Breached! An Inside Look at Cybersecurity for Law Firms,” hosted by the Harris County Robert W. Hainsworth Law Library in collaboration with LexisNexis. With data security incidents and data breaches happening daily, it’s important for the legal world to turn its judges, attorneys, support staff and interns toward one reality—it’s not IF a breach or incident will occur—it’s WHEN. During this CLE session, we will cover: (1) the latest security threats in the news and what’s being done to address/remedy them; (2) explore current data breach laws; (3) how a lawyer’s professional duty may extend into new areas of technology and cyberspace; and (4) how to prepare a data incident response plan.
