By Rhodes, Jill D. American Bar Association. Third edition. 2022.
The ABA Cybersecurity Handbook: A Resource for Attorneys, Law Firms and Business Professionals, Second Edition is published by the ABA Cybersecurity Legal Task Force which is composed of ABA members with expertise in cybersecurity as well as government, technical and private sector representation. The Second Edition of this top selling cybersecurity book is a must read for anyone working in the field including private practice attorneys and associates, in-house counsel, non-profit and government attorneys and others. Since the release of the first edition published in 2013, cybersecurity breaches in law firms have made news headlines and clients are asking questions about lawyers' and firms' security programs. From the massive Panama Papers breach that led to the dissolution of the Mossack Fonseca Law Firm in April 2016 to the WannaCry and Petya Ransomware attacks, the latter that led to the several day work outage at DLA Piper in June 2017, it is imperative that attorneys understan…

This third edition of The ABA Cybersecurity Handbook updates and expands upon the issues raised in the first two editions. The cybersecurity landscape has undergone seismic changes since the publication of the second edition in 2017. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought new levels of technology integration to the practice of law, accompanied by new and expanded cybersecurity risks. Beyond the legal profession, the SolarWinds, Kaseya, and Colonial Pipeline breaches have set new and alarming precedents. Heightened cybersecurity risk worldwide has prompted increased responses from the US federal government and from the international community. Amid these ongoing developments, the Handbook is at your fingertips as a guide to preparing for and responding to cybersecurity threats and incidents. The foundational information it shares will remain relevant even in a changing environment. The recommendations within each chapter, located at the end, provide an easy guide for developing and imple…

By Bandler, John T. American Bar Association. 1;2017-09. 2017.
Why this book? Most have neither considered, nor know how "cyber secure" they are. For the majority who are not information technology (IT) professionals, the idea of delving into the technical details of secure computing can create apprehension and confusion. Some people think that if their email system works, and if their documents are accessible, then why bother making any security improvements to their system, which might create complications or cost time and money. Some would prefer not to know the cybercrime risks they are facing, or just haven't thought about it. Cybersecurity is more, though; it is also about protecting data from risks other than cybercrime, such as unanticipated IT issues, hard-drive crashes, house fires, and other incidents. Beyond security, this book will also provide information to use computers and data more efficiently. No matter an individual's level of comfort or experience with computers, this book will help recognize when electronic "doors" are open …

By Gantt, Andrew. American Bar Association. 2021.
Maintaining cybersecurity in today's technologically driven world is vital to the health of any business. Media outlets continue to report on large-scale data breaches affecting millions of consumers' information and costing companies millions, and sometimes even billions, of dollars to rectify. Organizations, particularly those within or touching the healthcare industry, remain the most attractive of targets for cyber attackers given the higher and lasting value of personal health information. The goal of this book is to help bolster stakeholders' knowledge of cybersecurity in the healthcare industry, with the aim of pinpointing current and impending threats to the industry's data security. The topics to be addressed include types of cybersecurity threats; ransomware in healthcare; how to prepare for and respond to cybersecurity attacks; the cost of inadequate security measures; and managing privacy and cybersecurity risks.

The Internet of Things encompasses the ability to connect and direct almost any kind of mechanical system, whether it's automotive, medical, residential, or critical infrastructure. IoT technologies hold tremendous promise for our communities by making them safer and more efficient. As with any other technology, they also entail security risk, and the risks associated with IoT technologies must be aggressively managed. We can do so, with industry's help, by working to leverage standards and liability and insurance mechanisms to ensure that IoT's foundational building blocks are secure and effective. Increasingly, utilities are deploying smart grid technologies, wirelessly connecting thermostats to the utility to measure usage patterns and allow energy supplies to be adjusted, with precision based on need. Companies are working on clocks, kitchen appliances, and other household products that monitor consumer behavior to turn on your coffee machine moments before you wake up; warn you wh…

Law firms can mitigate the risk of a data breach through a variety of means, including: investing in cybersecurity tools, hiring internal and external cyber resources to augment the firm's current information security practices, and arguably most importantly changing the firm's culture to be more security conscious. No one size fits all solution exists for dealing with cyber threats, but with proper focus and resources, a firm can consider its unique factors and develop an information security posture that addresses its most compelling concerns. While preventing a breach should be a paramount concern for any law firm, it is similarly important to prepare for what happens in the event that a breach occurs. Although there are options, such as cyber insurance, to help mitigate the direct costs of a breach, law firms must also look to other options to resolve these issues expeditiously. As the costs associated with litigating data breach claims continues to climb, it will become increasing…

"The Privacy Nutshell briefly reviews the historical roots of privacy, and then examines each of these U.S. privacy statutes and regulations. Virtually all governments and businesses face privacy considerations as technology continues to evolve. Legal issues related to privacy are exploding on the U.S. legal scene. The EU has a long history of a strong regulatory privacy regime. The U. S., however, follows a sectoral approach to privacy, whereby Congress responds to each privacy “crisis” with a new statute and set of regulations. This sectoral approach has resulted in a unique series of privacy rules for different areas of society. The Privacy Nutshell is an excellent introductory guide to the legal privacy world." -publisher's description

Cyberbullying is the first pandemic of the twenty-first century. No country has escaped this phenomenon since the Internet became mainstream and litigation commenced in the 1990s. In fact, 2020 even witnessed cyber-abuse related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as well as race relations and protests. Cyberbullying Law presents cases, comments, and legal research for attorneys, judges, and anyone interested in the rights and responsibilities of those involved in cyber abuse or harassment. Due to the ubiquity of all things digital, litigants invariably become enmeshed in electronic communication. This may lead to petitions for orders of protection or sua sponte orders from the bench regarding communication among parties, victims, and witnesses. Practitioners in civil and criminal courts, or family and juvenile courts regularly confront instances of cyber abuse, whether constituting harassment, intimidation, stalking or threats. First Amendment protections are not absolute, although …

Hundreds of millions of businesspeople use LinkedIn daily, not only to forge connections and nurture relationships, but also to search, assess, and choose reliable professionals. Understanding how best to use LinkedIn will give you an edge in tapping into LinkedIn's remarkable power to promote and connect your expertise. There are many books on LinkedIn that focus on "what to do," but not on the strategy of "why and how" to make LinkedIn a pivotal tool in the professional' marketing toolbox. Many "what to do," books are almost immediately are out of synch with the latest iteration of LinkedIn before they are even published. And with the latest changes to the LinkedIn user interface in March 2017, this book is up-to-date and relevant while the others are teaching what to do with the old interface. What remains constant, however, is the way each law firm, and for that matter, any sort of professional practice, expresses "why you do what you do" and "how well others say you do it." This b…

Game developers routinely wrestle with all aspects of IP law and need counsel on end-user license agreements; ownership and challenges of user-generated content; the scope and limitations of copyright protection; remedies for trade secret appropriation; duration of right of publicity protection; approaches for simulating reality without running afoul of existing trademark and brand rights of real-world companies and people; ramifications of international law; and more. This new edition of Computer Games and Immersive Entertainment covers a broader range of topics and helps lawyers understand the ongoing changes, developing creative and nimble solutions to protect companies while still engaging the players.

Cyberbullying is the first pandemic of the twenty-first century. No country has escaped this phenomenon since the Internet became mainstream and litigation commenced in the 1990s. In fact, 2020 even witnessed cyber-abuse related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as well as race relations and protests. Cyberbullying Law presents cases, comments, and legal research for attorneys, judges, and anyone interested in the rights and responsibilities of those involved in cyber abuse or harassment. Due to the ubiquity of all things digital, litigants invariably become enmeshed in electronic communication. This may lead to petitions for orders of protection or sua sponte orders from the bench regarding communication among parties, victims, and witnesses. Practitioners in civil and criminal courts, or family and juvenile courts regularly confront instances of cyber abuse, whether constituting harassment, intimidation, stalking or threats. First Amendment protections are not absolute, although …

Why this book? Most have neither considered, nor know how "cyber secure" they are. For the majority who are not information technology (IT) professionals, the idea of delving into the technical details of secure computing can create apprehension and confusion. Some people think that if their email system works, and if their documents are accessible, then why bother making any security improvements to their system, which might create complications or cost time and money. Some would prefer not to know the cybercrime risks they are facing, or just haven't thought about it. Cybersecurity is more, though; it is also about protecting data from risks other than cybercrime, such as unanticipated IT issues, hard-drive crashes, house fires, and other incidents. Beyond security, this book will also provide information to use computers and data more efficiently. No matter an individual's level of comfort or experience with computers, this book will help recognize when electronic "doors" are open …

Law firms can mitigate the risk of a data breach through a variety of means, including: investing in cybersecurity tools, hiring internal and external cyber resources to augment the firm's current information security practices, and arguably most importantly changing the firm's culture to be more security conscious. No one size fits all solution exists for dealing with cyber threats, but with proper focus and resources, a firm can consider its unique factors and develop an information security posture that addresses its most compelling concerns. While preventing a breach should be a paramount concern for any law firm, it is similarly important to prepare for what happens in the event that a breach occurs. Although there are options, such as cyber insurance, to help mitigate the direct costs of a breach, law firms must also look to other options to resolve these issues expeditiously. As the costs associated with litigating data breach claims continues to climb, it will become increasing…

Hundreds of millions of businesspeople use LinkedIn daily, not only to forge connections and nurture relationships, but also to search, assess, and choose reliable professionals. Understanding how best to use LinkedIn will give you an edge in tapping into LinkedIn's remarkable power to promote and connect your expertise. There are many books on LinkedIn that focus on "what to do," but not on the strategy of "why and how" to make LinkedIn a pivotal tool in the professional' marketing toolbox. Many "what to do," books are almost immediately are out of synch with the latest iteration of LinkedIn before they are even published. And with the latest changes to the LinkedIn user interface in March 2017, this book is up-to-date and relevant while the others are teaching what to do with the old interface. What remains constant, however, is the way each law firm, and for that matter, any sort of professional practice, expresses "why you do what you do" and "how well others say you do it." This b…

"The Privacy Nutshell briefly reviews the historical roots of privacy, and then examines each of these U.S. privacy statutes and regulations. Virtually all governments and businesses face privacy considerations as technology continues to evolve. Legal issues related to privacy are exploding on the U.S. legal scene. The EU has a long history of a strong regulatory privacy regime. The U. S., however, follows a sectoral approach to privacy, whereby Congress responds to each privacy “crisis” with a new statute and set of regulations. This sectoral approach has resulted in a unique series of privacy rules for different areas of society. The Privacy Nutshell is an excellent introductory guide to the legal privacy world." -publisher's description
