Description: As AI and other technological ecosystems grow more complex and interconnected, law firms face unprecedented cybersecurity and privacy challenges. Data now flows through vast networks of third parties — cloud providers, AI tools and agents, SaaS platforms, and even omnipresent IoT devices — creating new vulnerabilities that attackers increasingly exploit with unseen simplicity, creativity and efficiency. This insightful and popular class explores the evolving cyber threat landscape in 2026, highlighting how emerging technologies, including generative AI, have transformed both defensive and offensive operations in cyber space, and how attorneys can leverage data protection as a competitive advantage on the legal market.
You'll learn how cybercriminals target attorneys and law firms as entry points into broader supply chain attacks against their clients and other third parties, the legal and ethical implications of data breaches, and best practices for protecting sensitive and client information. The class examines practical, first-hand and cost-efficient strategies for developing a firm-wide cybersecurity framework, mitigating privacy risks, and navigating AI-specific threats. As a bonus, our esteemed presenter discusses what AI can do to augment your legal practice and where AI will quite unlikely replace human lawyers within the next decade.
You'll leave with good understanding and actionable steps how to strengthen your own digital defenses and promote a culture of security and privacy across your law practice, effectively standing out among competition. While the class explores both foundational and highly complex technical questions, no special technical knowledge is required as a prerequisite, you will also have a possibility to send their follow-up questions to our speaker after the class.
