Program Summary
When it comes to IT at firms of all sizes, the security of data should be the No. 1 concern.
For smaller firms, setting security measures that are as seamless as possible can be a challenge, and often talent, technical, or cost prohibitive. With the dawn of artificial intelligence platforms, increasing business climate challenges within the legal profession, and relentless security adversaries, understanding the risks and how to mitigate them become paramount.
This is true if they manage their own system either on-premises or manage a cloud or hybrid infrastructure. There is much to do, and much to be on top of each day, as every firm’s practice is built on technology that must be effective.
A new study by iManage and Above the Law, depicting the high stakes balance between security, productivity, and collaboration, provides new data on the specific challenges firms of all sizes are facing.
Join us for this CLE-eligible webinar, where a panel of tech experts will detail these findings – to include where to begin in the process, how to build and control a budget that makes business sense, and how your firm can be ahead of business impacting risks.
Key topics to be discussed:
- The current threat landscape, and the challenge of hybrid and remote working
- Securing innovation and the client experience
- Managing the three pillars of risk – the external, insider, and unknown security threats
- Transitioning to a more secure technology infrastructure
- Alignment of people, process, and technology, within budget boundaries
