Business enterprises, including law firms, frequently adopt and sometimes develop new digital technologies. A new technology is usually a mixed blessing. Its introduction may improve or add new capabilities to the enterprise. That’s the upside. But most new technologies are also honeycombed with flaws, limitations, deficiencies, and vulnerabilities (“faults”). Unless identified and remediated, faults may increase the chances the enterprise’s personnel will misuse the new technology with severe consequences. Unmanaged faults may also increase threats posed by bad actors (external or internal).
Support the Cybersecurity Legal Task Force this Giving Day
Our connected world is also a vulnerable world, where one misstep can have cascading catastrophic effects. The cross-disciplinary work of the ABA Cybersecurity Legal Task Force, comprised of cybersecurity leaders from the private, public, and sectors, has never been more critical. Collaborating with ABA entities, industry leaders, and government agencies, the Task Force provides attorneys, policymakers, and the public with the latest insights on cybersecurity risks, protecting data, and responding to a cyberattack, while focusing and coordinating the ABA’s analyses and assessments of cybersecurity proposals.
