Exchange On-Premises vs. Exchange Online - A Law Firm Bakeoff
2016-09-15 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Webinar
The cloud has been a hot topic for a few years and most firms are working to understand if/when infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), software-as-a-service (SaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solutions will fit into their technology plans. Recently, directory-as-a-service, identity-as-a-service and others have further expanded the cloud service landscape.
In this webinar, we will focus on arguably the most important application in a law firm — its messaging system. Microsoft Exchange is the de facto standard for on-premises messaging systems and Exchange Online, a component of Office 365, has become the standard for hosted messaging solutions. We’ll discuss licensing, pricing, integration, data privacy and sovereignty concerns, migration considerations and more to help you determine whether Exchange Online will meet the needs of your firm.
Speaker:
Joe Hoegler, a Practice Leader at Kraft & Kennedy, Inc., leads the company’s infrastructure and enterprise systems practice group. He is responsible for direction, delivery and thought leadership in the areas of messaging systems and unified communications, directory services, server virtualization, storage area networking, network infrastructure, high availability and disaster recovery, and data center design. Joe has led or advised over 100 projects on Exchange 2010/2013 for law firm clients totaling over 100,000 users, and has presented at numerous industry conferences.

2016-05-23 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | CT
Firewalls, intrusion detection tools, and end-point security measures are crucial to a layered security program. However, there are limitations to securing and hardening your technology. Ultimately, the people using it can be the weakest link. Users in your environment can unravel the best security with one click. This session will discuss how to educate users on email, password, and web browsing practices, as well as how to familiarize them with the ways attackers use publically available information for social engineering-based hacking. We will cover the steps you can take to build an effective security awareness program that includes safe user behavior.

Douglas Brush is the Practice Leader of the Information Security and Governance practice in the New York office of Kraft Kennedy. Mr. Brush has over 20 years of information technology experience with a special focus on law firms and corporate clients. He assists clients with information technology security assessments, penetration testing, digital forensic investigations, incident response programs, and information governance.
