As a result, on the last day of the show, I decided to tour the exhibit hall and ask some of the exhibitors their thoughts about this year’s show, how it compared to previous years and whether American Lawyer Media (ALM) should consider moving LTNY to a different (i.e., warmer) time of year. Here is some of their feedback.
read moreOne of the most discussed topics at last week’s LegalTech® New York 2015 (LTNY) was cybersecurity. And, with good reason, as it seems as though every other day, there is another report of a data breach (last week, it was health insurance company Anthem with an estimated 80 million people affected). Now, 27001 Academy has prepared an informative infographic with stats regarding 2014 data breaches and an offer of a free eBook with cybersecurity best practices.
