Keeping your team a breast of the latest threat intelligence and attack methods will help mitigate the anxiety caused by cybersecurity uncertainty. In addition to reducing stress, security training will help eliminate risky behavior and in still security company-wide best practices.
As the world becomes more connected through technology advancements, cybercriminals methods and cyber-attacks are also advancing at an alarming rate.
Your law firm relies on technology to serve your clients at the highest level possible. To avoid setting off any alarms, cybercriminals have engaged more advanced scams and attack vectors to trick their victims without disrupting business operations (or even bringing attention to themselves).
Insulating sensitive client and other firm information goes beyond strong passwords. Most members of your team lack knowledge around cybersecurity and data privacy. A comprehensive security awareness program sets clear cybersecurity expectations for all employees and educates users about how to recognize attach vectors, help prevent cyber related incidents and respond to a potential threat.
To create a culture of cybersecurity awareness in your firm, training your team on the importance of safe online computing, strong passwords, social engineering and more is essential in molding your firm into your first line of cyber defense and ensuring the confidentiality of sensitive data.
A data breach can dissolve any confidence that your clients may have had in your firm, or worse yet, motivate them to leave, while others might pursue legal repercussions to impose further damage.
By investing in innovative, comprehensive cybersecurity training to educate staff, clients will have confidence in knowing that the firm they rely on have the knowledgeable and skills to safety secure and handle their sensitive information.
Additionally, with evidence of complete training and cybersecurity controls,your firm’s value will increase, (experiencing a data hack for a law firm is equivalent to experiencing a bankruptcy by an investment firm).

Not to mention that time you lose dealing with the hack, and not being able to focus on your clients (your bread and butter).
The importance of providing regular, evolving Cybersecurity Awareness training cannot be overstated. The goal of this training is to educate your team members on potential security threats and encourage behavior change.
