Brooklyn Bar Association hosts CLE on cybersecurity amidst rising threats
The Brooklyn Bar Association (BBA) sponsored a free Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminar titled, “Defending Against Cyber Threats: Strategies to Prevent Cyber Attacks” on Tuesday, reflecting an industry-wide push to educate on the issue of cybersecurity that has become paramount since the onset of the pandemic. The seminar featured expert insights from Tom Kirkham, founder and CEO of Kirkham IronTech.
This free event was organized as a response to the growing number of attorneys experiencing cybersecurity issues or having related questions. The urgency of the matter led BBA to bring in Kirkham, an acclaimed figure in the cybersecurity industry with more than three decades of experience. His recent book, “Hack the Rich – A Cybersecurity Parable,” has already hit Amazon’s best-seller list twice.
The seminar, available for purchase on the BBA’s website, provided a comprehensive overview of steps necessary to protect businesses from cyber threats. It covered topics ranging from creating a robust security infrastructure to training employees in best security practices.
