This is the e-book version of Locked Down: Information Security for Lawyers in EPUB format. EPUB is compatible with many e-readers, including iPad, Barnes & Noble NOOK, Sony Reader, Adobe Digital Editions, Kobo, and others.
In November of 2011, the FBI met with major law firms to deal with the rising number of law firm computer intrusions, warning them that hackers see attorneys as a back door to the valuable data of their corporate clients. In an age where lawyers frequently conduct business across wireless networks using smartphones and laptops, how can attorneys safeguard client data and confidential information? Locked Down explains the wide variety of information security risks facing law firms and how lawyers can best protect their data from these threats--with any budget. Written in clear, non-technical language that any lawyer can understand, this book will help you:
- Create secure password--and store them safely
- Assess the existing security risks at your firm: server rooms, cleaning crews, guests, alarm systems, and more
- Work securely from a laptop or smartphone
- Protect your mobile devices from theft
- Authenticate users and encrypt your data
- Maintain e-mail integrity
- Secure your wired or wireless network
- Effectively wipe data from a hard drive before disposal
- Develop an information security checklist for your firm
- Investigate, contain, and recover from a security breach

"As an attorney from a small firm, I found the book helpful in that our firm had already implemented many of the policies suggested in the book and also because it prompted me to look at ways to either use some of the newer technologies to protect data or simply improve upon the existing ones."--Kavita S. Knowles, Fullerton & Knowles, P.C.
"Another great reference book. . . . [The authors] clearly identify the security threats attorneys face and a roadmap to lower the risk of a security breach. Their list of resources and Information Security Program Checklist are invaluable to any law firm; and policies and procedures should be reviewed and updated regularly, as these issues continue to evolve."--Nancy Duff, The Duff Law Firm
