tmgroup are pleased to announce that their national conference “Risky Business: Cyber Crime in the Property Transaction” will be taking place on Thursday 23 February 2017.
Held at the Institution of Engineering and Technology in London, this free full-day event will focus on the challenges of cyber security and how law firms can better protect themselves from a cyber-attack.
80% of conveyancing solicitors were “definitely more worried about security and risk of fraud in 2016” compared to 2015
“Risky Business: Cyber Crime in the Property Transaction” was developed in response to recent tmgroup survey findings, which revealed that approximately 80% of conveyancing solicitors were “definitely more worried about security and risk of fraud in 2016” compared to 2015.
With this in mind, tmgroup have invited a panel of experts – including the National Police Chiefs’ Council’s National Cyber PROTECT Coordinator – to discuss a broad range of cyber security challenges, and ensure that all attendees leave the event in a stronger position to safeguard both themselves and their clients.
A variety of expert speakers will address both technology and people risks
In addition to the 3 interactive roundtable discussions, a diverse panel of 5 expert speakers will be presenting on both the technology and the people risks which law firms need to be aware of in order to effectively protect their best interests.
The full agenda of seminars features:
Graeme McGowan (BeCyberSure) – “Cyber Security: 2017 and beyond”
Graeme will be looking at some of the current cyber security risks law firms need to be aware of, as well as explaining the huge impact the forthcoming General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) could potentially have on law firms.
Matthew Newton (Oosha Ltd) – “Cyber crime – Dealing with the undeniable threat”
Matthew will focus on helping attendees understand more about cyber crime; specifically looking at why increased IT complexity is good for cyber criminals, and the latest considerations relating to Professional Indemnity insurance and cloud technologies.
Jeremy Swinfen Green (Teiss and Mosoco) – “Cyber Security – Managing third party supplier risks”
Jeremy will be discussing how to reduce the risk of having a third party (such as a business partner, contractor, or customer) who has access to your IT systems acting as a bridge for hackers.
Mark Payne (InfoSec Cloud) – “Cyber Security – How your frontline team can help protect your firm against cyber attacks”
Mark will primarily be discussing the sophistication of modern-day phishing emails – sharing a variety of real-life examples – and explaining how to help your team recognise them before they accidentally trigger a major security incident.
National Police Chiefs’ Council’s National Cyber PROTECT Coordinator – “Cyber crime – How to respond to an attack and support your team in preventing future cyber security incidents”
The speaker panel will also be joined by the National Police Chiefs’ Council’s National Cyber PROTECT Coordinator, who will be explaining how to respond to a cyber incident; touching on key areas such as Law Enforcement capability (national to local) and reporting to Action Fraud.
