Sensei Officers Featured in CloudNine Blog

December 27, 2016

Recently, Doug Austin of CloudNine was interviewed by Sensei’s Sharon Nelson and John Simek on their Digital Detectives podcast hosted by Legal Talk Network. Doug discusses the interview and his love for Ride the Lightning in his own eDiscovery Daily Blog on CloudNine’s site.
Excerpt: They conducted the interview with me a couple of weeks ago and we talked about a variety of topics, including: automation as an emerging trend in eDiscovery, debate and the state of technology assisted review (TAR) today, the emergence of SaaS automation solutions, where attorneys are today in embracing technology, as well as other trends in eDiscovery and “gotchas” to watch out for.  And, of course, I talk about the joys of writing a daily blog!

Legal Talk Network Posts New Digital Detectives Podcast

December 26, 2016

With the rise of legal technology came a heightened awareness amongst lawyers and law firms of the importance of cyber security to ensure that one’s own, and the clients’, assets are protected. In this episode of Digital Detectives, hosts Sharon Nelson and John Simek sit down with former law enforcement officer and High-Technology Crime Unit detective Keith Lowry to discuss governmental cyber security policy under President Obama and how those policies might change during the administration of President-elect Trump.

Sensei Article Featured in Slaw Magazine

December 20, 2016

Sharon Nelson and John Simek’s article, “Security Fatigue and Its Impact on Law Firm Security” was featured recently in Slaw Magazine. Slaw is a Canadian online legal magazine.

Excerpt: People are inherently lazy. After all, why do something today that you can put off until tomorrow? Users hate to do anything that would slow down their access to their computer or data. That means they would much rather just sit at a keyboard and start to surf the Internet instead of entering logon credentials and then entering a second factor. How many times have you been tired of the constant password changes only to resort to using one you know you’ll remember and have previously used? Didn’t feel like creating a new account so passed on that online purchase? You are not alone.

A recent study from the National Institute of Technology (NIST) found that the majority of typical computer users experience security fatigue, which leads to risky computing behavior at work and in their personal lives. Security fatigue is defined as a reluctance or weariness to deal with computer security. So what does this mean for law firms? A balanced approach is the way to go. If you make things too difficult for the users, they will find ways around the security measures.

Sensei Officers Give Their 2017 Predictions

December 12, 2016

Every year, colleague and friend David Bilinsky of Thoughtful Legal Management gathers predictions from top legal experts about what they think is in store for the legal world in the year to come. In Part 1 of this annual posting, Sharon Nelson and John Simek give their predictions for 2017…
  1. Our first prediction is that no one will know what cybersecurity will look like until the Trump presidency is well underway. Mr. Trump is an unknown. If what he says is true, he does not value privacy in the context of what he sees as the fight against ISIS and others – and this does not bode well for the Constitution. Mind you, we were not happy with some of the privacy invasions which took place under Mr. Obama’s administration.
  2. Ransomware will get ever MORE crafty – and ransoms, which have gone up sharply in 2016, are likely to go even higher. It is not unusual at this point to see bitcoin ransoms in the $2500 range where law firms are compromised.
  3. The media has begun to report that the luster is off Apple and we believe that trend will continue. The truly innovative days of Steve Jobs appear to be gone. We have seen many clients switch from iPhones to Androids and embrace the Surface Pro.
  4. An increasing focus on tech CLEs seems likely. Florida, in 2016, mandated tech CLEs and we, in Virginia, have seen VSB TECHSHOW (capped at 500 attendees) sell out twice – and we expect to see it fully sold out again in April of 2017 – there is a great hunger among lawyers for good tech CLEs by speakers they can understand.
  5. We expect more major IoT breaches of personally identifiable information. We are at the point where it may cause actual physical harm or a huge financial impact.
  6. Continued implementation of encryption everywhere is very likely. Encryption by default is now standard in so many places.
  7. We predict, sadly, that a lot of solo and small practitioners will find that they are not selling what clients want to buy – primarily lower prices when technology is effectively leveraged.
  8. We also expect to see a greater usage of client portals – another way of protecting confidential data – and a feature that clients absolutely love.
  9. Block chain technology will begin to make inroads in the legal process as a method of authentication.
  10. Lawyers will increasingly understand that they must “fish where the fish are” – in social media. We have seen a great interest in CLEs which teach attorneys how to effectively manage and leverage social media.

Sharon Nelson Featured in Attorney at Work Article

December 8, 2016

It’s that special time of year again! Time to do all of your holiday shopping, but what should you get for the tech-lover on your list? Well, look no further. Attorney at Work asked top legal tech experts what would be at the top of their tech wish list this year and Sensei’s Sharon Nelson was one of those experts.
Excerpt: “My tech wish list is long, but answering this question prompted me to just go buy something I’ve wanted for a while. It’s a Prepara iPrep foldable/adjustable e-reader, phone and tablet stand, for iPads and Surface Pros among many other devices. At $20.47 from Amazon, you can’t beat the price and it has a five-year warranty.” – Sharon Nelson
