On Thursday, February 15, 2024, Kara M. Maciel and Darius Rohani-Shukla presented a webinar covering Mitigating Cybersecurity Risks to Your Company’s Confidential Information from Exiting Employees.
In the modern workplace, keeping track of proprietary information and ensuring its confidentiality has become significantly more challenging due to the prevalence of remote employees, cloud computing, and the comingling of personal and company devices that can access company information. Employers who are not conscientious about maintaining the confidentiality of their proprietary information can threaten the viability of their business moving forward. Exiting employees can more easily than ever attempt to take company information with them, delete essential company documents, or even try to publish proprietary documents in an attempt to destroy their former employer’s competitive advantage.
Participants in this webinar learned about:
-
- Guidelines for identifying cybersecurity risks during employee exits, whether through layoffs, downsizing, or involuntary terminations
- Tips for protecting trade secrets and confidential information at work through strict confidentiality policies and access restrictions
- Best practices for protecting company information when offboarding exiting employees; and
- Legal options for recovering company information or property from disagreeable former employees
We are pleased to share these links to a copy of the slides and a recording of the webinar.
This program has been approved for 1.00 HR (General) recertification credit hour with HRCI and 1.00 PDC with SHRM.
This was the 2nd webinar event in Conn Maciel Carey LLP’s 2024 Labor and Employment Webinar Series.
