New York (NY) Privacy CLE Course Catalog

In this program, you'll learn the lessons of some data breach cases that can help you protect your company when facing a data breach. This program also provides timely, actionable advice that includes the 5 things you can start doing today to help prevent data breaches and better prepare your company to respond to them if they do occur, focusing on the healthcare space where data breaches can include disclosure of personal health information regulated by state and federal laws including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

This session will give you insight into keeping pace with emerging state data privacy regulations. Following passage of CCPA and CPRA in California, states are prioritizing enacting data privacy laws to more aggressively regulate the use of consumers’ personal information. These laws will have profound implications on how companies, including law firms, do business and communicate with their customers moving forward.

In this session, our data scientists and privacy experts will share emerging solutions for extracting and protecting private information throughout the discovery process.

Everyone needs to be concerned with cyber-attacks, these days. It’s a myth that only large organizations need to be concerned about hackers trying to get their information.

All it takes is one employee clicking on the wrong link in an email, and the hundreds of thousands of dollars you spend on your security infrastructure are useless. So to sit back and rely on your IT department with the expectation that nothing will ever go wrong is a risky proposition. Issues related to data privacy and cybersecurity are not limited to large organizations. In fact, depending on what reports you read, anywhere from 40% to 60% of cyber-attacks specifically target small to medium-sized businesses, and upwards of 70% of small businesses have experienced some form of cyberattack in the last year. The smaller the business, the fewer the resources it will typically have to spend on cybersecurity. If you think a good cybersecurity plan and infrastructure is too expensive, wait until you find out how much it costs not to have one.

This CLE session is a highly relevant panel discussion on cybersecurity risk management in our new "Work From Anywhere" world in the COVID19 era. Speakers from leading law firms, managed review, hosting and cyber security companies, will discuss issues the legal community faces with remote workers. Topics include document review planning and staffing, project initiation, management, and quality control -- all with an eye on infosec and data loss prevention at a moment where most contract document review attorneys are working from home. With time for participation and Q&A, session attendees will take away several rich perspectives on cybersecurity and compliance issues facing legal teams engaged in remote review projects.

This panel discusses these ethical obligations generally and provides advice on practical best practices for adapting and complying while working in a remote environment. The “new norm” extends the boundaries of the work environment, which lawyers and law firms will need to continue to assess, invest in and harden appropriately to protect data accordingly.
