I spoke with Willy Leichter, the Global Director of Cloud Security at CipherCloud, a technology company that delivers cloud information protection and enables users to navigate risks to data privacy, residency, security, and regulatory compliance. We discussed the impact of cloud information protection on the legal industry, the problems it solves for legal professionals, the shadow IT trend, and the advantages of implementing proven encryption and data loss prevention techniques. Leichter also identified a few of the biggest threats facing law firms today and prospective changes to privacy laws over the next five years.
