Cyber attacks are one of the most common and vulnerable attacks to an individual and business. Within seconds an unauthorised access, all your sensitive data is extracted, and you can’t do anything about it. Well, it always takes two to make a quarrel. One silly, unprotected sign in and the next thing you know you are getting phone calls from legit-looking scammers asking for money and bank details.
This is why firms need to take that extra mile to secure not just their employee’s data but also the databases of all their clients. Law firm hacking is getting pretty common these days.
You must have seen lawyers helping clients safeguard their interests against cyber crimes but what if the same law firm is in a quandary with its own cybersecurity risks?
There is always sensitive data about the client’s case circulating over emails. Though there is a protocol for it, but hackers are aware of this and can masquerade as your attorney and can get all the secrets of the case they want.
Simple steps like following two-step verification, updating the software regularly and allowing access only on the “need-to-know” basis are some simple but surprisingly under followed safety measures.
When it comes to guaranteeing full proof cybersecurity for law firms, a name to trust is VRICyber. They provide state-of-art security operational services to lawyers and arbitrators. They follow a comprehensive five-step assessment plan:
• Conducting a comprehensive assessment of the cyber activities of the firm.
• Bringing to your notice all the deficiencies and their plan of action.
• Implementing security solutions proficiently.
• Setting up an inclusive annual plan with 12 payments.
• Conducting the same analysis by the end of the year and repeating the entire process.
This tight analysis and 24/7, all round the year cybersecurity controls help you protect your client’s key personal information from hackers. This also helps you focus on the core case, rather than bothering about phishing scams and malware all the time.
They also perform compromise assessments to catch bad actors masking as you and extracting data and harming the intellectual property.
Bottomline is cyber security for lawyers is as much if not more important than their clients and any breach of information and hacking can cost you a hefty price.
So, seek the robust services of VIRCyber and protect yourself from threats from both ends of the firewall.
