Cyber attacks are on the rise. In 2017, 1 in 5 law firms experienced a cyber attack or data breach. In addition to hurting your business' reputation, being hacked is expensive — in fact, the average breach costs $3.5 million. 

Hackers don't just target client data

In the legal industry, the biggest threats include phishing schemes, denials of service, web jacking, WiFi connections and inside threats. If a law firm's litigation strategy is exposed, it can result in loss of cases, clients and even bankruptcy.

With off-site work becoming more of a norm, and with the Internet of Things (IoT) connecting devices, data can be mistakenly stored in unprotected locations. Everything from employees' home tablets to their Apple watches or smart phones have a network that can leave a company exposed. Hackers are at an advantage because they target vulnerabilities in each device. 

Are you taking your cybersecurity seriously?

A breach of confidential and sensitive information could destroy a company's reputation. Proper security
measures are the only way to minimize or avoid extensive damages associated with a breach.
