Cybersecurity for Law Firms

What Is At Risk for Law Firms

Law firms have extremely sensitive and private information about their clients, which makes them a highly attractive target to cybersecurity threat groups. This information can include confidential documents and business operating agreements, as well as personally identifiable information such as name, address, phone number, social security number, and more. Attackers can steal this information and hold it for ransom, putting your firm in a bad position so it's important to get the right services in cybersecurity such as data breach prevention.

 

The Effects of a Cybersecurity Attack on a Law Firm

Law firms tend to be a highly targeted industry for cyber threats and therefore must take advantage of services in cybersecurity. Your IT company may set up your network and make it secure, but it’s up to you to double-check their work.

​

If you are attacked, it can have a devastating effect on your firm. The loss or theft of information not only impacts the firm, but your clients as well. Many states now have extremely stringent breach notification rules requiring you to notify individuals who have had their data compromised. Firms will have to deal with the cost of the breach and the PR nightmare that occurs as a result of the breach. You may even suffer the loss of clients, business continuity, and potential litigation.
