How Attorneys Get Hacked (And What You Can Do About It)

Professional hackers around the world are targeting YOU in attempts to gain access to client information and financial accounts. Today, attorneys are also held hostage by ransomware, the malicious software that locks up your files until you pay a ransom. All it takes is one person in your firm to click on a link, and all of your shared files could be locked up for good. We’ll show you how attackers break into your computer, with screenshots and videos of a real attack. Finally, we'll run through the most important building blocks of a strong cybersecurity program. Learn how to effectively defend against cybercriminals so that you can protect yourself and your clients.
