We’ve addressed the detection of compromised passwords and what to do if your credentials are stolen. Now it’s time to play offense and use proactive measures to avoid future catastrophes.
True cybersecurity isn’t about limiting damage but preventing breaches and losses from occurring. With the right strategy and professionals in place, you can shed fear and focus instead on your firm.
There’s no magic wand to banish the bad guys, it takes layers of overlapping protection: insulation, education, monitoring, and contingencies are all mission-critical components. Make sure your law firm security stack includes each one.
Insulation: Integrated password management automatically ensures (and securely stores) unique passwords that isolate compromised credentials while implementing multi-factor authentication quickly retires passwords that have leaked.
Education: Humans are the weakest link in any cybersecurity plan, and today’s sophisticated phishing and fraud tactics make it crucial to keep staff on their toes. Training programs should be interesting enough to retain attention, spaced apart, so they aren’t ignored and backed by unannounced simulations to verify lessons have been learned.
Monitoring: An initial audit identifies existing weak spots, and regular risk assessments keep everything fine-tuned. Proactive probing, coupled with testing and installing security updates, helps defeat emerging new threats. Regularly scanning the Dark Web keeps tabs on credentials to make certain your identity remains safe.
Contingencies: It’s impossible to guarantee absolute protection, so any realistic approach prepares for problems. Established security protocols should provide guidance in case of a breach, while offsite data backups keep your files secure and cyber insurance shields you from liability.
