Lawyers and law firm administrators take heed. The ABA's Commission on Ethics 20/20 has issued proposed changes to the Model Rules of Professional Conduct regarding the use of Cloud Computing technologies.
As digital communications continue to infiltrate the practice of law, it is important to remember that the rules regarding how attorneys conduct business remain ever steadfast and confidentiality is at the top of that list.
While Cloud Computing has its own set of risks, so too does storing any information on any computer that has an Internet connection. In today's age of spyware, malware, viruses and hackers, it is critically important that law firms take every step necessary to secure and backup client information - don't get stuck with your head in the clouds.
