With more than £4m of client money falling prey to cyberattacks in 2020, can law firms afford not to take all steps necessary to protect themselves?
Law firms often present an easy target for cybercriminals, due to the vast amount of money handled and the lack of in-house security expertise. Attacks can have a devastating impact—not only on the firm’s balance sheet, but also on its reputation and client relationships.
So what can firms do to defend against cyber risks? Cyber Essentials is a government-backed certification scheme, covering the key actions a business should take to safeguard its digital security. The scheme assesses the five key criteria which, when properly addressed, can protect a business from up to 98.5% of common cyber threats.
Cyber Essentials certification is a simple, quick and cost-effective way to protect your business: find out more at cybersmart.co.uk.
