Lawyers today expect the freedom to work from anywhere, access information instantly, collaborate seamlessly and take advantage of AI-powered tools that help them work faster and smarter.
For the security teams responsible for protecting the firm, that freedom brings a very different challenge.
Sensitive client information is now accessed far beyond the traditional network perimeter. AI is creating new questions around data governance, ownership and risk. At the same time, security leaders are under pressure to deliver stronger protection without creating barriers to productivity.
Join Legal IT Insider, BlueFort Security and iboss on 22 October for an in-depth discussion on the best practice approaches that organisations are taking to rise to new challenges. How are leading legal organisations rethinking security for a world where users, applications and data can be anywhere?
We’ll be joined by Bluefort chief technology officer Josh Neame, who says: “Adoption is hugely outpacing any kind of governance right now, so it’s a case of how do you claw the governance back? We’ll be looking at legacy security, data sovereignty, and the limitations of zero trust – don’t berate me for saying this, but it’s a wishy-washy term.”
We’ll also be joined by Simon Eappariello, SVP EMEA and APJ at iboss (who many years ago was systems manager at Richards Butler) who says: “A lot of companies and firms don’t know what is and isn’t possible. That’s the big problem. What is achievable? Things are moving so fast and it’s important not to just jump on the bandwagon.”
Key discussion points
– Secure work from anywhere: delivering consistent protection whether lawyers are in the office, at home or with clients.
– Safe AI adoption and governance: enabling AI initiatives while protecting sensitive client and corporate information.
– Moving beyond legacy security: reducing complexity and eliminating infrastructure designed for yesterday’s perimeter.
– Data sovereignty and control: understanding where sensitive data is processed, stored and protected.
– Zero Trust in practice: controlling access wherever users, applications and data reside.
– Practical lessons from legal organisations that have already made this transition and learn what worked, what didn’t, and what they would do differently.
