It is no secret that cybersecurity, data breach, and phishing attacks against corporations and law firms have increased over the past several years. Barely a day goes by without news of a “hack” or loss of customer data. Last year a client sued his firm for failing to adequately secure his data. Also within the past few months, the SEC announced charges against three men who were using information hacked from M&A firms in New York to short stocks.
In response to these types of events, organizations have hired Chief Information Security Officers, performed penetration tests, and focused significant resources on hardening their computer systems. All of these protections can be undone, and bring new legal challenges, by a single employee deploying their own technology “solutions” without IT’s knowledge or approval.
