Vancouver: Incident Response with Modest Resources

Description

“You’re going to need a bigger boat.” Sheriff Brody said it best when he came face to face with the great white shark that was menacing the fictitious town of Amity Island, in Spielberg’s 1975 blockbuster, Jaws. Yet the hero was able to stop the shark without a bigger boat. He uses ingenuity and determination.

The same holds true when it comes to defending against cyberattacks in small to mid-sized law firms. Security operations statistics demonstrate that compared to large law firms, smaller firms generate significantly fewer security incidents, but are close to par when it comes to events requiring an immediate response. But, unlike larger firms with more resources with which to protect client non-public information, small firms can find themselves trapped between cyberattacks like ransomware that do not prejudice based on the size of the firm, and regulators who are indifferent to your size when investigating a potential violation. Nonetheless, smaller firms must use their modest resources wisely to establish and practice incident response. This workshop will be a demonstration of how to effectively respond to a cyber breach or incident both from a technical and a business perspective, and how to mitigate future risks using modest resources.
