The SolarWinds/Orion supply chain attack, impacting an estimated 18,000 customers is but one reminder of the vulnerabilities lurking in third party vendors. In early 2020 over 200,000 current and former GE employees’ personal health information was breached via its document management vendor Canon Business Process Services. Breaches are inevitable but law firms are in the business of providing legal services, not cybersecurity and incident response. Join an interactive discussion on the implications of increased third party attacks and shifting focus in the legal industry from billable hours to building risk mitigation and resiliency planning.

Upon completion of this presentation, the attendee will
1. understand the implications of increased third party attacks;
2. understand how such attacks impact law firms; and
3. considerations for shifting focus in the legal industry from billable hours to building risk mitigation and resiliency planning.
