The Aba Cybersecurity Handbook

"Cybersecurity remains a top concern in the legal profession. A data breach is a question of when, not if. Lawyers must take steps to protect their own security and privacy, as well as that of their clients. The ABA Cybersecurity Handbook is a vital desk-side resource to help lawyers understand the nature of the threat, protect their practices and their clients' confidential information and intellectual property, and comply with ever-changing legal rules."

-Reggie Turner, President, American Bar Association
