Cyber law expert, attorney, and SANS instructor Ben Wright joins hosts Jerich Beason & Whitney McCollum to discuss a variety of topics, including Ben’s career path into cyber law and teaching, the pros and cons of having a cyber whistleblower, and the importance of the investigation and knowledge of the impacted company. We talked about the need for cyber security education for all lawyers, how cyber risk should be foundational to legal training and education, and how that could be implemented.

As a lawyer working in the field for decades, Ben explores with us why knowledge of cyber risk is important for lawyers not only to protect client data, but also for advising clients. Who gets access to your firm’s information systems? What are the laws and implications around those systems? Should CLE credits on cyber topics be required?

Ben also offers his tips on managing the possibility of cyber whistleblowers within an enterprise and having a process in place to effectively manage internal reporting of concerns. Do limited resources and shortage of talent contribute to whistleblowing? What effect does the social and digital media landscape have on the motivations of whistleblowers? Learn all this and more in today’s episode.
