Mobile technology is a necessity for most attorneys today. While it provides great benefits, it also presents great risk. Laptops, mobile devices and portable media can be easily lost, stolen or compromised. An August 2007 survey reports that 70% of data breaches result from the loss or theft of off-network equipment. The most common devices involved are laptops and PDAs, followed closely by USB drives. Important first steps are understanding t he risksand then paying constant attention to them. Some additional steps are storing only necessary information, strong authentication, use of encryption, not leaving them visible in cars, and use of security devices, like cable locks. These and other critical security measures will be explored at TECHSHOW on Saturday morning in Securing Your Clients’ Data While on the Road.
