This live and recorded web-based CLE will offer attendees an overview of the situation relating to the growing use of social media and mobile devices in today’s workplace, and the expanding definition of the “workplace” to include anywhere workers travel with their smartphones and other mobile devices, companies are being put at risk even as they empower their employees to unleash the business potential of these rapidly evolving tools. Twitter, Facebook, personal and work-issued smartphones and iPads pose new challenges in today’s evolving world. Companies are exposed like never before to loss of reputation, scandal, employees behaving badly, company secrets being leaked, harassment, and other damaging communications.

At the same time, these new technologies are enormously powerful and, as a practical matter, are here to stay. The panel will cover real-world best practices for securing the cyber environment and strategies for counsel to deliver practice advice for protecting against litigation both inside and outside the workplace.
