Securing Your Law Firm With Limited Resources

Law firms have unparalleled access to sensitive information, which makes them a prime target for cyberattacks. For decades, law firms have been subject to sophisticated cyberattacks that lead to massive ransomware outages, public exposure and crippling reputational damage. In addition, the resulting damage and business disruption cost can reach upward of $225K per day.

Recently, Initial Access-as-a-Service brokers that deploy malware like Gootloader have become a growing cyber threat for law firms and corporate legal departments globally.

Early detection and complete response capabilities are crucial to stop sophisticated threats like Gootloader, remain compliant with stringent regulations, and maintain cyber insurance coverage. However, many law firms lack the necessary in-house resources and expertise to detect and contain cyber threats.

In this Legal Industry Threat Summit, we share expert insights on the latest cyber threats targeting the legal industry, main legal cybersecurity challenges, and how security leaders can defend their organizations with limited resources. The threat summit features:
