Computer security is an essential part of an attorney’s ethical obligations to protect client confidences and client property.

- Assessing your office's security vulnerabilities to protect client data and confidences
- Protecting your identity while surfing
- Covering your tracks
- Understanding encryption, digital signatures and PKI
- Secure financial transactions
- Preventing intruder attacks
