<\/p>\nThese days most client data is maintained in electronic form, not on paper But your ethical obligation to keep it safe and confidential \u2013 whether it\u2019s stored in the cloud or in a file cabinet \u2013 remains the same. And though electronic information has many advantages, there are risks as well: intentional breach, accidental loss and inadvertent disclosure.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s easy to be slack about cybersafety. Unlike paper documents \u2013 which we can hide in file drawers and store in locked rooms \u2013 we can\u2019t touch electronic data. When we turn off our computers, we can\u2019t even see it. Because this information is intangible and invisible, it makes a juicy target for wrongdoers. They can steal it or gain access to it, and we may never know.<\/p>\n
Cybersecurity starts with education and ends with reliable systems run by a trained staff.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Bottom Line:<\/b> A key to cybersecurity is creating a law firm culture that always looks for common threats and common-sense solutions.<\/p>\nWhat’s Next?<\/h3>\n
Keep it safe, accessible and secure. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":6610,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[254,435],"tags":[440],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/altaprorpg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/altaprorpg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/altaprorpg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/altaprorpg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/altaprorpg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=407"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/altaprorpg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20516,"href":"https:\/\/altaprorpg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407\/revisions\/20516"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/altaprorpg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/altaprorpg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/altaprorpg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=407"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/altaprorpg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
