Despite strengthening security across and beyond the business, many legal organizations overlook a critical vulnerability with surprising frequency – the risk presented by third parties. Cybersecurity risk is further heightened when outside counsel engages multiple partners to support their business – those fourth-party vendors your counsel uses for court reporting, record retrieval, transcription, and other litigation support services.

So, how can the legal industry safeguard client data and ensure the vendors they (and outside counsel) work with have a culture of confidentiality? Our latest webcast, an intimate, thirty-minute “deep dive” with a leading information security expert, will cover:
- Options and core competencies for third-party risk management
- The difference between information security training, education, and awareness
- Best practices for building a ‘culture of confidentiality’ with external vendors
