Please join the Northern Virginia Chapter of ARMA for our March 2014 chapter
meeting. Our program theme for this Chapter Season is “eRecords and
Information Governance.” Our speakers for March’s meeting are Sharon D.
Nelson, Esq. and John W. Simek, and they will talk about "Information Security
for Lawyers" - although the issues they will address touch on all of us, not
just attorneys.
Lawyers have an ethical duty to be competent and to keep their client data
confidential. Clients too want to have their confidential data protected. All too
often, information security is not prioritized by law firms. It costs money to
protect data and businesses frequently resist budgeting for security, even
though an ounce of prevention is far less expensive than a pound of cure.
Investigating and remediating data breaches is hideously expensive, not to
mention the necessity of complying with state data breach notification laws.
This presentation will cover:
• How data breaches occur – human error, tech snafus, hackers, insiders,
cybercriminals – and the NSA
• How to prevent data breaches using a combination of technology, policies
and training
• Secure computing when you’re on the road
• Encryption
• The new rules for strong passwords
• How to manage smartphones in a BYOD (bring your own device) world
• What you must do after a data breach
• Stories of real-life law firm data breaches.
