If you don't have the tools in place to protect your firm, Cybercriminals can and will steal your credentials and cause havoc... Everything you’ve workedso hard to build within your law firm could be lost.

I don’t want to see you waste any more time dealing with security threats and data breaches.
BobaGuard is similar to insurance. You purchase insurance not because it is exciting and will help you grow your practice, but so that you have full confidence that IF something were to occur you would be protected.
You could absorb a blow of a lawsuit with far less stress and worry WITH insurance than without. The metaphor carries to cybersecurity solutions and taking the necessary measures to protect yourself NOW. Not tomorrow. Not next month. And certainly not AFTER you suffer a data breach.
No Long Term Contracts
Even though it might not seem like it, it’s never been easier to put the right security solutions in place that will drastically lower your risk of experiencing a data breach. It’s possible to apply best-in-class security protocols to protect your law firm from a data breach, without wasting time (and money).
There are hundreds of lawyers we’ve already helped—attorneys in all practice areas throughout North America—who are fully confident in their security measures –they have drastically reduced their risk of a data breach while simultaneously leveraging their comprehensive security measures into a differentiator –something your competition is behind on.
While working with these lawyers... I’ve discovered one clear lesson—there is a proven formula for reducing your risk of a data breach, while also increasing your protection.
The process is now quite simple, and you can use it to fill the gaps in your security measures and fortify your law practice from cybercriminals.
Think about the many layers of security people use to protect their homes. They put up fences, door locks, alarm systems, canine security and lock up their most valuable possessions. If all those fail, they can always fall back on insurance to replace what’s been lost.
That’s layered security—and the same approach is needed to secure your law practice.
There is no “silver bullet” that can protect against such a wide range of threats.You need to move beyond simple antivirus and implement a solution that brings together multiple security tools.
The key is in the redundancy designed in this approach:If one security control fails or is bypassed, the other overlapping defenses should be there to mitigate the threat.
Knowing you have the right security measures in place, protecting everything you have worked so hard to build, can profoundly change the quality of your life.
Security awareness training to keep security top-of-mind for everyone on your team.
The ABA TechReport 2020 states that in 2019, a full 58% of solo lawyers did not have any such policies in place
Verizon's recent Data Breach Report showed that 81% of hacking-related breaches used either stolen or weak passwords.
Did you know that 91% of successful data breaches started with a phishing attack?
Free yourself and your staff from the tedious busy work of keeping your computers up-to-date, check the box for Antivirus protection, and cut down your phishing attacks with web protection.
Without cyber liability coverage, your firm is responsible for the financial damages associated with any data breaches involving sensitive information.

Mike joins Bobaguard as our newest Cybersecurity Solutions Advisor. He most recently worked at PrivCloud as their Sales & Business Developer. PrivCloud is a secure data management system provider. Mike set up PrivCloud’s Sales Process and client tracking systems.
Mike’s empathy and drive to educate and help his clients are why we asked him to join the BobaGuard team. Mike does not fit into the typical salesman mold.
He truly cares about the firms and people he meets with and enjoys providing suggestions and helpful advice on adding a cybersecurity solution to their firm’s toolbelt.
Mike has been married to his wonderful wife, Heidi, for 21 years and has four kids. The two oldest, Avery and Olivia, are both away at college. Twin boys Cal and Riley are Sophomores in high school and keep their parents busy running them to numerous events, including two different high school football games a week this fall. However, that will be ending soon, as the boys will be taking their driver’s test and will be able to get to their events on their own. Something Mike is looking forward to.
His family lives in River Falls, Wisconsin. Mike, a former football player, is a die-hard fan (sufferer) of the Minnesota Vikings (I know you thought I was going to say Green Bay Packers) and has had season tickets for many years.
Mike and his family love to take road trips and experience new places and events. One of their goals is to watch a baseball game in every MLB Stadium. So far, they have experienced ten different stadiums.
When at home and can find the time, Mike likes to take in a game of golf and try out new recipes on the family grill. Although since they live in Wisconsin, I am unsure how often he enjoys those activities. Mike was the first one on our team to experience that “S” word this fall.

Julian joins Bobaguard as our first Cybersecurity Solutions Advisor. He most recently worked at LatinFinance as an Account Executive. LatinFinance is a source of intelligence on the financial markets and economies of Latin America and the Caribbean. Julian managed key accounts of the LATAM region and was also in charge of selling sponsorships, ads, and building new or key accounts.
Julian’s passion to educate and help his clients is why we asked him to join the BobaGuard team. He does not fit into the stereotypical salesman profile. He truly cares about his clients and is happy to provide suggestions and helpful advice on any topic that comes up during conversations with those interested in adding a cybersecurity solution to their firm’s toolbelt.
Although Julian is currently a bachelor and is one of the few at BobaGuard that does not have a furry companion, he is close with his parents and loves to tell us stories about his niece, Sarah and nephew, Simon who are twins. I’m sure a pet will be added to his family in the future, as he enjoys the company of Jessie, a friendly dachshund that lives with his parents.
Julian currently lives in Miami, Florida. He takes advantage of the wonderful weather found in Miami by playing soccer (futbol) and padel (a new game he has recently told us about). Because he is such a huge soccer fan, he rarely misses a chance to watch the Inter Miami CF MLS games at their stadium.
He has a passion for travel and plans on getting to know every single corner of the planet. He has already visited too many places to list, but a few are Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Spain, New York, and Washington DC., and has many more trips planned in the future. Two of the places he has visited that impacted him the most were Rome and Zion National Park.
In his spare time Julian is an avid car enthusiast. He has owned about twenty different vehicles. He likes to buy and keep them for about a year, just long enough to enjoy the experience, then sell and buy the next one. Julian wants to experience the thrill of driving as many different cars as possible. So far, his favorite car has been the Porsche 911 (he thinks it is the best car all around), but his dream car would be a McLaren F1.
If you get the opportunity to talk with Julian, don’t hesitate to ask his advice on buying your dream car. He has some great tips!

Beatrice joined our BobaGuard team after working at GlobalMac IT on our Help Desk team and having an interest in cybersecurity and jumping in to help with our BobaGuard clients.
She started working in the IT world troubleshooting Windows computers, which turned into helping her clients with their iPads and iPhones, eventually moving into supporting their Apple computers.
Beatrice lives in a small town about an hour north of Philadelphia, PA. However, if you love the show “The Office,” you may be more familiar with this area of
Pennsylvania being just outside of Scranton, PA.
We love to catch a glimpse of Beatrice’s pride and joy during our morning Zoom meetings, her daughter Marilyn. Marilyn is five years old, loves kindergarten, and is cute as a button.
In addition to doing fabulous work taking care of her home and daughter, Beatrice
also has a house full of pets. She has Daisy the Chihuahua and Benny, Nico, and
Barbera, three snuggly cats.
However, the most interesting part of Beatrice is her hobby; she collects butterfly
specimens! Her current collection numbers ten, and her most rare item isn’t a butterfly at all but a Heterometrus Cyaneus, a small scorpion from Indonesia.
Boba, Tom Lambotte’s cute little French Bulldog is the BobaGuard mascot and inspiration for the BobaGuard name and logo.
Boba is happy, playful, and loves to cuddle. Like BobaGuard, security is important, and protecting his little French Bulldog brother, Archie and his human siblings is a high priority.
Boba loves to join Tom at the office and make his rounds, visiting everyone on the team and greeting many of our visitors.
He’s well known to be a friendly dog – he doesn’t bark much, but when he does, it’s enough to make the point… No one gets past Boba unless they submit to a few moments of play or a good belly rub.

When not fixing someone’s computer or spending time in a videogame world, you will find Jared and his wife on a walk with their 2-year-old Golden Retriever, Brinkley. You may even spot Brinkley during a video chat with
Jared, if you are lucky.

Jeremey joined GlobalMac IT in October 2019. He is the GlobalMac IT technology solutions coordinator, planning, implementing, and overseeing necessary technology solutions. Before Jeremey came onboard, he was a support engineer for Futuri Media, and before Futuri he spent 5 years working for Apple as an AppleCare Senior Advisor. This expertise made Jeremey a perfect fit for the team.
Aside from a love for videogames, Jeremey has a passion for technology in general, and loves his Thursday night golf games. He has to be the first in the group to have the newest products and often can’t help pulling computers apart to replace or upgrade hardware. He can also put them back together again, which helps.
Jeremey values spending time with friends and family, actively making the effort to connect with the important people in his life. When he is home he has two beautiful cats that won’t leave him alone, even if there’s work to do.

Chris is the one at the helm of the ship, steering the team around all obstacles and constantly looking for better courses to navigate while making improvements to the GlobalMac IT and BobaGuard. He’s basically Russell Crowe in the Master and Commander movie.
Chris is responsible for the company’s profit and loss results, the execution of the GlobalMac IT business plan, and providing clear and concise guidance to the team so everyone works together like a well-oiled machine.
He also realizes that humans are not just oily machines, bringing a genuine and compassionate approach to leadership.
Before joining the team, Chris had worked for many different companies developing their marketing plans and managing their finances. Believe it or not but he used to tour the country in a band (as the bass player), and also had a landscaping business before getting his bachelor’s degree from the University of Akron.
Initially joining the team in 2012 for bookkeeping, marketing, and office management, Chris rose to the COO position and now helps the CEO to steer the ship.
When Chris isn’t busy improving the company’s profitability or acting as the glue that integrates all of the major business functions, he enjoys woodworking, cycling, and jamming on his cigar-box guitar. (He most likely built the guitar himself.)
Chris’s favorite quote:
“It’s not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what’s required.”
