Cybersecurity is a top priority for law firms, but protecting your digital assets goes beyond just technical controls. The human element is crucial – from physical security vulnerabilities to employee behaviors that can expose your firm to risk.

For all managers responsible for estates, buildings and operations, this intersection of digital and physical security has created new complexities, challenges and tools that we will explore. During this session, we will gain valuable insights on best practices to:

  • Enhance physical security measures in your workplace
  • Foster a security-conscious culture among support staff
  • Mitigate insider threats and human error
  • Adapt your security practices for a hybrid work environment

Our expert panel will share real-world insights to help you bulletproof your firm’s defenses:

  • Georgie Cohen, Partner, Cyber Security Practice, IBM
  • Allan Campbell, Chief Information Security Officer, Withersworldwide
  • James Edwards-Scott, Chief Information Security Officer, Williams Lea
  • Perminder Jagdev, Chief Information Security Officer, Taylor Wessing
  • Ben Gibbins,  Partner at Alvearium Associates and former CISO at Pinsent Masons

The session will be moderated by Chris Bull, consultant, author and Principal with Edge International.

Don’t miss this opportunity to network with peers and gain actionable steps to safeguard your firm’s critical data and systems.
