We have all noticed an increase in attempted cyber fraud since we started working remotely. Many of us may have even unwittingly fallen for a sophisticated ruse. It takes more than just spotting the spelling mistakes in an email to decide what is real and what is not these days.

The LPLC is an independent statutory authority that has been providing professional indemnity insurance to Victorian barristers and solicitors since 1986. They have an in-depth understanding of how Victorian law firms operate and the unique areas of risk in practice management of law firms.

They have a wealth of knowledge and in this session they will be sharing information around cyber security including:

  • Five key risk areas that firms need to address for a comprehensive approach to cyber security
  • Common claim situations the LPLC encounter
  • Practical steps firms should implement to keep their technology and systems safe from fraudsters
  • Q & A time for your burning questions.
