Social Engineering: the Bad, Better, and Best Incident Response PlansRob Ragan
One of today's most challenging security issues is social engineering defense. Despite evidence proving the impact of a social engineering attack, we often see inadequate incident response plans in place. In this talk, we will share our experiences about what organizations are doing when (or, more commonly, if) they detect an attack, steps to strengthen the social engineering defensive strategy, and what best practices to enforce for the strongest possible security posture.

Social engineering relies profoundly on human interaction and often involves the misleading of employees into violating their organization’s security procedures. Humans are naturally helpful, but when it comes to protecting an organization’s security, being helpful to an outsider can do more harm than good.
These slides discuss social engineering, the most common attack methods, and the best means for defending against a social engineering attack.

BSidesPGH - Never Surrender - Reducing Social Engineering RiskRob Ragan
The weakest link in the security chain is often between the keyboard and the chair. People are a problem. We have a natural instinct as humans to trust someone's word. Although various technical means have been developed to cope with security threats, human factors have been comparatively neglected.
Once you put a human in a security chain, you have a weakness. That problem should be addressed by security practitioners, not every member of an organization. Very few would disagree that social engineering is the the most common and least challenging way to compromise an organization, but most accept the notion that there isn't much they can do about it. False!
This talk will focus on the psychological, technical, and physical involvement of social engineering, and also look at how we can remove the human element of the human problem. We will explore what organizations are doing wrong, also the processes and technical controls that can be put in place to achieve a strong social engineering defense.
We'll template a solution that can be customized. What will really help? What is the truth? What if we don't want to surrender our organization to social engineers?
Currently, market has a wide range of systems, products and services focused on computer security services: Antivirus, Antispyware, Firewalls, IPS, WAF, SIEM systems, etc.
All these measures are indispensable and have become a priority for any company or organization towards ensuring its assets, but social engineering plays with the advantage that you can use techniques that violate own vulnerabilities inherent in human beings and, as is well known, for this there is no patch or upgrade that provides effective protection against such attacks.
People is normally “the weak link in the chain”.

Hacker Defense: How to Make Your Law Firm a Harder TargetLexisNexis
It is up to law firms to protect both themselves and their clients with security measures that keep up with increasing risk. The firm can’t risk losing the trust of its clients. Here are some important ways that individual lawyers, and their firms, can improve the security of the information entrusted to them.
Law firms need to stay sharp because corporate security is getting harder,not easier. At the same time, companies are starting to recognize that information security is a fundamental business issue—one that demands an increased focus on cyber resilience, not just security. The reason is simple: criminals and state-sponsored attackers are targeting intellectual property, customer information, and avenues for business disruption. That makes law firms an ideal target.

SecureWorld Expo Dallas - Cybersecurity Law: What Business and IT Leaders Nee...Shawn Tuma
This presentation was delivered by Shawn E. Tuma, Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Attorney, to SecureWorld Expo Dallas on September 27, 2016.
This presentation was significantly updated from past presentations and included a discussion of the groundbreaking New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) Cybersecurity Requirements for Financial Services Companies.
The main points of this presentation are:
(1) Cybersecurity events create a crisis situation and should be treated as such;
(2) Cybersecurity incidents are as much legal events as they are IT or Business / Public Relations events;
(3) Companies must have a cybersecurity breach response plan in place and tested, in advance;
(4) While consumer class action data breach litigation is a significant threat to companies and their leadership, it is not as great of a threat as regulatory enforcement by agencies such as the FTC and SEC, or the shareholder derivative claims for officer and director liability; and
(5) The odds are that all company will be breached, but preparation and diligence can help minimize the likelihood that such a breach from being a catastrophic event.
This presentation addresses the role of attorneys as the first responders in leading their clients through cybersecurity and data loss crisis events. The discussion begins by looking at the risk business have of being the victim of a cybersecurity or data loss incident and examining the nature of such incidents and the crisis environment they create. Then, because of this crisis environment, the need for leadership in helping keep the parties calm, rational, and making deliberate, calculated decisions.
The discussion then explains why cybersecurity events are legal events and legal counsel is the natural leader that should fulfill this role and how they can do so. It will then discuss the process legal counsel will take, including assembling the key players in such an event, both internally and externally. It discusses the obligations for responding to such an event, the steps that must be taken, those that must be considered, and certain factors that go into the decision-making process. It briefly addresses the costs of such an incident and the liability issues that can arise from such an incident and failing to properly respond to the incident. This section includes a discussion of the cybersecurity lawsuit landscape, cybersecurity regulatory landscape, and the issue of cybersecurity-related officer and director liability stemming from shareholder derivative lawsuits based on cybersecurity incidents.
It concludes with a discussion of the steps that companies can take to prepare for and be in a better position to respond to and mitigate the negative repercussions of such an incident.

Data Breach Response: Before and After the BreachFinancial Poise
You’ve received the dreaded call that your company has just suffered a data breach – what do you do next? Who do you call for help? What notification obligations do you have?
With proper preparation, you can mitigate the damage caused by this unfortunate event and put your business in a position to recover. Your company may have already implemented its information security program and identified the responsible parties, including applicable outside experts, to be contacted in the event of a breach. However, now you must call up your incident response team to investigate the extent of the breach, evaluate the possible damage to your company, and determine whether you must notify your clients, customers, or the public of the breach. This webinar will help prepare you to take action when the worst happens.

This presentation is designed to change the way in which you look at electronic communications, and to pave the way for new communications technologies that offer the privacy and security of a hallway conversation with the efficiency and convenience of asynchronous communication through electronic text.
All levels of society rely upon information technology systems. Network operations are pervasive and impact nearly every aspect of our society. The desire of companies to collect, use, store, and secure information about customers, employees, and other individuals is a requirement of the new economy. It is no wonder that the prevalence of electronic communications and a growing dependency on cyber structures and operations also create potential vulnerabilities to cyberattacks. It is critical to preserve information systems and address and prevent weaknesses in cyber protection efforts. This webinar examines the means for companies to reach data goals ethically, efficiently and legally. The panel will also discuss the evolving regulatory approaches of the European Union, United States Federal government and significant developments in U.S. state regimes, including California. Best practices and model comprehensive privacy and cybersecurity policies are discussed. And, data breach response and related litigation, including class action litigation issues and fiduciary duty violations under corporate law, are discussed.

In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.

(see, e.g., Mass. R. Prof. C. 1.1 and 1.3) requires a lawyer to
“advise the client of the legal ramifications of existing postings,
future postings, and third party comments.

11. The ABA’s Five Questions for Data Security
What is the sensitivity of the information?
What is the likelihood of disclosure if additional safeguards are not
taken?
Is the cost of employing additional safeguards extraordinary?
How difficult will it be to implement safeguards?
To what extent will the safeguards adversely affect the lawyer’s
ability to represent the client?
Technology
12. 1. What is the sensitivity of the information?
Some information is considered more sensitive than others. SSN,
DOB, or pertinent details to the case should be considered more
sensitive. Other facts, like someone’s Twitter handle or university
attended, are less sensitive because they are easily attained by an
average person and usually carry little weight in most cases.
13. 2. What is the likelihood of disclosure if additional safeguards are
not taken?
This particular question is encouraging lawyers to ask how likely
people are to steal confidential information. A great example is the
Casey Anthony case. At first, the case was regional. Once the
national news began featuring the trial, the likes of Nancy Grace
started getting fired up, and this case became highly visible. A
highly visible case becomes a much greater target for data
security breaches.
14. 3. Is the cost of employing additional safeguards extraordinary?
A very difficult question to answer. At what point have you crossed
the line into “too expensive”? A couple of ways to approach this
question would be to determine the potential damages to your
client if said information became public, or to look at the average
industry cost of standard security protocols (above basic, below
enterprise). In most cases, keeping information private is not that
expensive, and damages are often due to human error as
opposed to a poor investment into a weak tool—but not always.
15. 4. How difficult will it be to implement safeguards?
Want to send your client fully encrypted emails with files that
can’t be shared with anyone? That is going to be complicated.
Need to save documents on a secured cloud server? Easy.
Having a security process is not a fun task to implement, but it
doesn’t have to be difficult and should be considered your first
step in data security.
16. 5. To what extent will the safeguards adversely affect the
lawyer’s ability to represent the client?
Some data protection protocols can be cumbersome at best.
Expecting a client to operate on a clean laptop with secured wifi
access and a user key for encrypting messages could mean you
rarely hear from your clients. If your security measures are so
strict that you—or your clients—find it prohibitive to function
through the legal matter, you may want to dial back the
