The Gullible Assistant. The Careless Vendor. The Imperious Boss. The Road Warrior. The Absent-Minded Executive. The Social Butterfly. Every organization has horror stories about people who bypass, ignore, forget or blatantly run roughshod over IT security policies and procedures. While trying to find the right balance between security and employee accessibility, IT sometimes exposes the organization to elevated risk. Before you know it, it’s legal’s problem. This “Family Feud” style session will test the audience’s knowledge of potential cyber risks and possible solutions to manage each scenario.

As in-house counsel, you provide your outside counsel with some of your company's most highly sensitive information. Your company may have robust procedures for evaluating other third-party vendors with access to company data, but often with respect to law firms, the procurement process is left solely to in-house counsel.
