Responding to Cyber Attacks: LegalCIO 2018 Roundtable Offers Practical Advice for Law Firms and Legal IT Professionals   

Delta Risk Experts to Share Best Practices on February 1 at LegalCIO 2018 Conference in New York

SAN ANTONIO, TX — January 23, 2018 Delta Risk, a global provider of cyber security and risk management services, announced today that it will host a roundtable on incident response best practices on February 1 as part of the LegalCIO conference. The conference is held in conjunction with Legalweek New York 2018 January 29 – February 1 at the New York Hilton Midtown. Delta Risk experts John Hawley, VP of Product Strategy and Andrew Cook, Manager, ActiveResponse, will lead a discussion on, “Is Your Organization Prepared for a Cyber Attack? Key Takeaways from Real-Life Incidents.”

Hawley and Cook will share learnings from recent incident response engagements with participants, along with insights on best practices. Other topics of discussion will include:

  • How incidents occur and key warning signs
  • The pros and cons of migrating to cloud services
  • Practical steps for prevention, preparation, and mitigation

“Law firms and legal professionals are under significant pressure to reduce cyber risk and demonstrate that they have documented incident response plans,” said Hawley. “As we’ve seen in our work with legal clients, even a single ransomware attack, for example, can have a dramatic impact on the day-to-day business.”

As a sponsor, Delta Risk is offering registrants discount codes for a Legalweek MasterPass or Exhibit Plus Pass. The Legalweek MasterPass offers attendees all-access privileges to all events at Legalweek New York 2018, including LegalCIO. Legalweek features 14 educational tracks, three interactive keynote sessions, 100+ speakers, 75+ sessions, and extensive networking opportunities, and is expected to draw more than 9,000 legal professionals.
