John's CLEs for attorneys on cybersecurity
In 2017 my first book was published, Cybersecurity for the Home and Office, The Lawyer's Guide to Taking Charge of Your Own Information Security, from the American Bar Association (ABA).
Since then I have been providing continuing legal education (CLE) to attorneys about securing themselves from cybercrime.
Some are afraid of technology and cybersecurity but should not be. It is a learning process, everyone can learn and improve.
