With increased technology at our disposable, it’s easy to stay connected while on-the-go. Whether you’re emailing from your smart phone, using a hotel’s connection to send important documents back to the office, or enjoying WiFi on the plane to download that recently signed contract, you should be aware of security concerns. What if a legal document that you sent to your client via email got intercepted and a as result, the contents were accessed by a hacker?  Or what if the flash drive that contained information regarding a case you were working on was suddenly missing? That confidential information is now at risk. What do you tell your client? This sort of breach of confidentiality can cost you your job or cause you to be the conversation (in a negative fashion) on social networks- damaging your reputation.
