The Ethics of Cybersecurity

Technology today seems to evolve almost faster than lawyers can keep up and yet we are ethically obligated to do so. This program is intended to guide lawyers as they grapple with technology issues that they are likely to encounter in their practices: cybersecurity, the cloud, and metadata.  

The program, presented by Deepika Ravi and Lauren Snyder, will analyze a lawyer's ethical duties of confidentiality, communication, and safeguarding client property as they relate to cybersecurity.  It will also discuss a lawyer's ethical duties-with a focus on confidentiality and supervision-as they pertain to cloud-based data storage. Finally, it will describe what metadata is and a lawyer's ethical obligations associated with document metadata.
