Evolution of Cybersecurity: Contracted Attacks and Targeting Attorneys

Description

Law firms and attorneys know that the likelihood of a cyber attack is high and acknowledge that the industry is under siege from cybercriminals. Unbeknownst to law firms, attackers have evolved from opportunistic and transactional attacks to more bespoke operations that target specific firms, or worse, specific attorneys. The risks are higher, clients are more informed and reputations are on the line. In this webinar, we will focus on:

• The economic model of a law firm and what makes targeting attorneys so attractive to attackers
• Why contracted attacks are harder to defend against
• What a 'spoke' attack is and how media plays a role
• Real-time review of use cases of similar attacks with incident response and DDQ frameworks that align to ABA cybersecurity standards
