Read MoreMust Read Monday Optimize Your Firm’s Cyber Security Approach
Data breaches have become increasingly common within the legal industry. It can happen to any firm at any time.
Here are a couple steps that can be taken to put your firm in a better position to protect against data breaches:
- Conduct a risk assessment to identify if your firm has any key vulnerabilities or weaknesses that could risk data privacy. By doing so your firm can create robust cyber security policies that are specifically designed to assist the potential risk areas of your firm.
- Consider hiring a third party to conduct an independent audit in order to identify cyber security gaps, prepare an Incident Response Plan, and train employees on the latest best practices.
Cyber security insurance helps your firm be prepared for the worst. If a data breach does occur, utilize your complimentary cyber endorsement from Tokio Marine to protect yourself from cyber threats.
Take the time to assess your firm’s cyber security needs so that it can be as best prepared as possible against cyber threats. Log in to your CLE/Member Benefits portal to learn to access more information on cyber security protection.
Please email mbinfo@lawyersmutual.com or call (818) 565-5512 ext. 280 for any questions.
Together we can bring out the best in the legal profession.
