Trust nothing, verify everything, and keep humans in the loop
It’s Cyber Security Awareness Month! In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with InfoTrack, we unpack how much the risk and compliance landscape is shifting and why having humans in the decision-making process is so essential in protecting the integrity of a law firm.
Host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back InfoTrack Chief Executive Officer John Ahern to discuss the current state of affairs in cyber security and the proliferation of incidents being seen, the extent of readiness from Australian businesses, how prepared law firms are compared to other businesses, how regulation is changing the game and if it’s catching up to a new world, headline vulnerabilities, increasing duties and the need for humans to remain in the loop, the nexus of human involvement to trust and verification, and urgent practical steps to be taken.
