What you need to know: Regulatory and legal updates in cybersecurity and data protection
At previous Legal SASIG Workshops, attended by senior security practitioners from various organisations, we have considered what good security practice looks like for people and information in the legal sector, and explored the special challenges that the legal sector faces in protecting its clients’ invaluable private information.
We have now moved the conversation forward, to address the topics that interface between lawyers and cybersecurity professionals, drawing on the expertise of both to enhance knowledge and understanding of some of the most thought-provoking aspects of our work today.
Thus, this session is appropriate for the whole SASIG membership, regardless of sector or size of organisation.
