MLT Aikins lawyer Nathan Schissel is set to speak about cybersecurity at the Saskatchewan Trial Lawyers Association (STLA)’s upcoming Legal Symposium on May 2 in Saskatoon.
Nathan will join Jeff McMurray and Liezel Pistorius of KPMG for “A guide through: cybersecurity, ethical hacking, incident response & cyber defence.” The session will be facilitated by Mark Persick of Kondratoff Persick LLP. The presenters will answer the question, “I’ve been hacked, now what?” and provide practical steps for legal professionals to effectively prepare for and respond to cybersecurity incidents, as well as ways to mitigate risk to their practice and firm.
