The Ethics of Cybersecurity Before, During, and After an Incident

Friday, May 13, 2022

This program will explore an often overlooked aspect of cybersecurity incidents—what are lawyers’ ethical obligations with respect to their entities’ cybersecurity protocols? Lawyers have an ethical obligation to ensure their employers’ security adheres to the Rules of Professional Conduct and any applicable standard of care. We will outline those pre-incident obligations and discuss the obligations once an incident occurs, including the best practices for running a forensic investigation and trying to maintain privilege over the resulting forensic report.

Presenters: Shoba Pillay, John Storino, and Lindsey Lusk.
