PLI Press is proud to announce the publication of the new practice guide Cybersecurity Obligations for Attorneys: Confidential Information in the Age of Cyber Crime.
This book provides a general understanding of the scope of cyber threats facing the legal profession. It focuses on the expansion of Rule 1.6 (confidentiality) obligations to specifically address cyber threats and security measures. It also gives lawyers ways to think about cyber risks when managing their practices on a day-to-day basis. Attorneys can use this one-stop reference to determine their baseline cybersecurity obligations to clients and third parties.
The book covers the following important topics:
- The cybersecurity threat landscape (see Chapter 1)
- Cyber threat prevention under the Model Rules and various state codes (see Chapter 2)
- Obligations imposed by federal and state data breach and privacy laws (see Chapter 3)
- Federal regulation of cybersecurity obligations (see Chapter 4)
- How to demonstrate that cybersecurity measures are reasonable using the SAFETY Act (see Chapter 5)
- Cyber risk mitigation options (see Chapter 6)
Notably, the book also offers attorneys practical recommendations on creating a cybersecurity strategy (see Chapter 7). All lawyers, ranging from solo practitioners to senior managers at large firms, can benefit from the information and guidance in this book.
