Abstract:
"'Cybersecurity for the Home and Office; The Lawyer's Guide to Taking Charge of Your Own Information Security' helps individuals take control of their cybersecurity. Every day in the news, we see cybercrime - a multi-billion-dollar-a-year criminal industry whose actors have little fear of law enforcement. Incidents of cybercrime and cybercrime-related identity theft continue to grow exponentially. As a result, governments, regulators, and professional bodies increasingly require that lawyers and other professionals take reasonable cybersecurity measures. Beyond protecting workplaces from cybertheft or intrusion, there's also a need to protect ourselves and our families from these threats."--Provided by publisher.
