Details
Law firms hold a large amount of sensitive information and potentially valuable client data on their IT systems, making them an attractive target for hackers and cyber terrorists. Cyberattacks against UK law firms jumped by 20% between 2015 and 2016 as more than 70% of leading firms reported some form of attack. Join us for the Law Firm Cybersecurity Conference where IT experts and leading authorities in the legal sector will discuss the growing threat posed by cybercrime. Understand the implications of the Government’s £1.9 billion cybersecurity strategy, know your obligations under the upcoming General Data Protection Regulation and learn how your firm can avoid being the next high profile victim of a data breach. Expect to hear from a panel of specialist speakers including a keynote presentation from Sandip Patel QC, chairman of the Cyber-Crime Practitioners Association.
