This document discusses the importance of data security and privacy for paralegals working with confidential client information in the cloud. It defines the cloud as networked systems that allow remote data storage and access. While the cloud increases productivity, it also poses security risks if proper precautions are not taken. The document outlines ethical obligations to protect client confidentiality and privacy, and recommends practices for paralegals such as using secure connections, strong passwords, encryption, and regularly updating security software.
Protecting Intellectual Property in the Age of WikiLeaksSocialKwan
WikiLeaks stands as a warning for all of us responsible for protecting the digital assets and intellectual property (IP) of our organizations.
It is tempting to think that WikiLeaks, and the explosion of similar whistleblower and vigilante sites, as only interested in information from government, military, or political organizations. But a recent Forbes interview with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has a warning for us all.

This presentation tells about digital marketing meaning and crimes related to it.Any illegal behavior directed by means of electronic operations. that targets the security of computer systems and the data. processed by them is termed cyber crime.
The invention of computer and Information technology related software and equipment has revolutionized the way we do things in many fields.Especially in the science, education, business and commerce it has made far reaching changes.Without using a single sheet of paper, a lot of communications and transactions are done.Automation of businesses, financial institutions and the government records have become widespread.
Many transactions such as sale of goods, transfer of information, transfer of funds and even buying air tickets could be done through the use of computers. The existing laws that governs transactions and information did not address such issues as they were made before the IT era.
Cyber Security is: “Protection of information systems against unauthorized access to or modification of information, whether in storage, processing or transit, and against the denial of service to authorized users, including those measures necessary to detect, document, and counter such threats.”

1. 6 National Paralegal Reporter®
by Pamela J. Starr,
CBA, J.S.M.
I
t takes a firm grasp on technology for paralegals to excel at their
jobs. Our feet are firmly planted in the ‘cloud’, as the Internet, com-
bined with our devices, apps, and software, renders us more produc-
tive, efficient, accessible, and vulnerable.
What is this ‘cloud’? It is not some ethereal or nebulous construct that
exists somewhere in the stratosphere, but is “a known road and location
that data travels to and on and does not mean that data is floating out in
space unprotected and unobtainable.”1 (emphasis added) For the uniniti-
ated, the terms ‘cloud’ and ‘cloud computing’ originally referred to the
visual devices programmers created to describe the complex network of
systems involved in data transfer and storage in cyberspace. These web-
based services increase productivity by allowing users to store and
retrieve data that has been centrally stored on an outside server, i.e. web-
based email, social media, online banking, e-commerce, and more.
Technology provides the tools for legal professionals to be more auton-
omous and produce exemplary work, anywhere and anytime. Attorneys
and paralegals use cloud-based productivity applications to telecommute
and work remotely. Files stored offsite can be viewed and edited in real
time, by several users, from any Internet-connected device, and meetings,
CLEs, and hearings are often conducted virtually. Whether working in a
traditional workspace, or minding the cloud, lawyers, paralegals, and
legal service providers are bound by the same legal and ethical constraints
as their brick and mortar counterparts.
The Intersection of Technology and Ethics
With all these tools and advances, we find ourselves at the very busy
intersection of technology and ethics. Not only does technology make it
possible to work virtually from practically anywhere, it has also made it
easier to inadvertently cross ethical lines.
We access the Internet anywhere and everywhere — from our homes,
Minding
‘The Cloud’
work, school, and even in-flight.
Visualize every computer, laptop, tab-
let, cell phone, application, and other
Internet portal as a window into your
life. (They call them ‘windows’ for a
reason.) Every window in your home
has, at the very least, a reliable lock-
ing mechanism; most have some sort
of covering — a pull-down shade,
blinds, or even black-out curtains —
to protect your privacy from the pry-
ing eyes of neighbors and passers-by.
Our digital ‘windows’ require similar
protection to protect personal infor-
mation from interception by fellow
travelers on the "interwebs."
So what does this mean for us as
paralegals? Think about Snowden and
the NSA, hacker attacks on retailers,
and recent denial-of-service attacks
on the CM/ECF system. Now consid-
er the nature of the information trans-
mitted from client to attorney, attor-
ney to paralegal, and so on. Paralegals
often have access to clients’ personal
information: credit reports, Social
Security numbers, and accounting,
financial and medical records, as well
as other forms of protected informa-
tion. Whether the information resides
on a device or in the cloud, we are
ethically bound to ensure that confi-
dentiality, privacy, and security poli-
cies and protocols are established and
enforced.
2. Minding The Cloud
Confidentiality
In August 2011, the ABA Standing Committee on
Ethics and Professional Responsibility published its
opinion on the “Duty to Protect the Confidentiality of
E-mail Communications with One’s Client.” Among
other things, the opinion addresses concerns as to the risk
of third party access to any online communication:
A lawyer sending or receiving substantive com-
munications with a client via email or other elec-
tronic means ordinarily must warn the client about
the risk of sending or receiving electronic commu-
nications using a computer or other device, or
email account, to which a third party may gain
access. The risk may vary. Whenever a lawyer
communicates with a client by email, the lawyer
must first consider whether, given the client’s situ-
ation, there is a significant risk that third parties
will have access to the communications. If so, the
lawyer must take reasonable care to protect the
confidentiality of the communications by giving
appropriately tailored advice to the client.2
(emphasis added)
Obviously, this legal and ethical obligation to protect
client data applies to paralegals in addition to the attor-
neys to whom the opinion was originally directed.
Privacy
Unless you choose to return to the time of “stone
knives and bear skins,”3 you must accept that personal
information is no longer sacrosanct. Legally speaking,
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is:
Any information about an individual maintained
by an agency, including (1) any information that
can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s
identity, such as name, social security number,
date and place of birth, mother’s maiden name, or
biometric records; and (2) any other information
that is linked or linkable to an individual, such as
medical, educational, financial, and employment
information.4
As soon as you connect to the Internet, your personal
information becomes vulnerable. Whether you are read-
ing or sending email, participating in a listserv, post-
ing to Twitter, updating Facebook, submitting a blog
post, commenting on LinkedIn, making online pur-
chases and payments, checking your bank and credit
card accounts, IM-ing, chatting, Skyping, making
VoIP calls, clicking a link, or sending information
from your cellphone or tablet, you have flung the
(previously mentioned) window wide open.
We, as a society and professionals, have become far
too complacent about sharing information. We liber-
ally supply our names, phone numbers, email address-
es, and more on online forms. All it takes is a simple
click of the mouse to release that information, irre-
trievably, into the ether and potentially into disreputa-
ble hands. Our easygoing attitude toward sharing
information combined with the trend toward BYOD
(bring your own device) is a recipe for disaster.
