In May 2021 President Joe Biden issued out Executive Order 14028. The order focused on “Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity” to support and protect the nation’s critical infrastructure and Federal Government networks. This directly relates to the trustworthiness and transparency in ALL digital infrastructure – IT, OT, IoT, IIoT.
Risk is one of those standard terms within cybersecurity that, when asked to define, many struggle to explain what risk is and how it applies to cybersecurity. To start, we need to understand risk as it applies to security. Risk, like mathematics, is an artificial construct that humans use to understand and describe their environment.
For legal professionals, digital transformation also delivers significant benefits. Integrating technologies such as e-signatures, automating contract creation, Cloud-based collaboration tools, AI-powered documents, clause and contract review tools, and Cloud-based services are boosting the competitiveness of law firms in the post-pandemic world. However, these technological advantages for legal professionals can be threatened through exposure to cybercrime.
