Law Firms Remain High Priority Targets

Don’t Let Data Breaches Keep You up at Night

Prioritize Cybersecurity and Begin Taking Preventative Measures

Your law firm is under attack. Right now, extremely dangerous and well-funded cybercrime rings are using sophisticated techniques to hack into thousands of firms to steal sensitive information, blackmail you to recover data and swindle money directly out of your bank account. As custodians of highly sensitive information, law firms are inviting targets for hackers.

One in five law firms admitted to having a data breach. Law firms are low-hanging fruit because they “obtain, store and use highly sensitive information” and they aren’t devoting the attention and resources needed to be secure. (Source: ABA 2017 Legal technology Survey Report)

82,000 NEW malware threats are being released every single day and HALF of the cyber-attacks occurring are aimed at firms just like yours. You just don’t hear about it because it’s kept quiet for fear of bad PR, lawsuits and sheer embarrassment.

Here are 7 critical security measures your law firm must have in place to have any chance of fending off these criminals:

1. Train Employees On Security Best Practices. The #1 vulnerability for business networks is the employees using them. If they don’t know how to spot infected e-mails or online scams, they could infect your entire network.
2. Create An Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) And Enforce It! An AUP outlines how employees are permitted to use company-owned PCs, devices, software, Internet access and e-mail. Having this type of policy is critical if your employees are using their own devices to access company e-mail and data.
3. Require STRONG passwords throughout your company. Passwords should be at least 8 characters and contain lowercase and uppercase letters, symbols and at least one number.
4. Keep Your Network Up-To-Date. New vulnerabilities are found almost daily on common software programs you use all the time; therefore it’s critical you patch and update systems frequently.
5. Have An Excellent Backup. A quality backup can foil even the most aggressive ransomware attacks, where a hacker locks up your files and holds them ransom until you pay up. If your files are backed up, you don’t have to pay to get your data back.
6. Don’t Allow Employees To Download Unauthorized Software. One of the fastest ways to access your network is by embedding malicious code in seemingly harmless apps.
7. Don’t Scrimp On A Good Firewall. Your firewall is the frontline defense
  against hackers, so you need a really good one, with monitoring and
  maintenance done regularly.
