The Simple Cyber Security Solution
law offices
Reputation is everything
Law firms are built on reputation management. This means that firms must begin to adapt their technology to protect their data. One alarming statistic is that cybersecurity firm Mandiant estimated at least 80 of the 100 biggest firms in the country, by revenue, have been hacked since 2011.
​
Blumbrella uses well-known frameworks to increase your security posture. Every business is different and your protection will be personalized to the security needed. Industry standards give law firms a benchmark, and some firms are using ISO/IEC 27001 certification, which covers information security.
"Law firms are seen ... as high-value targets for the rapidly growing use of ‘ransomware’ and extortion schemes."

Recognizing The Risk
Cyber risk can be overwhelming and seemingly impossible to mitigate. Although firms can’t always be 100 percent safe, you can take steps to protect the business. Blumbrella is here to provide a comprehensive defense-in-depth strategy for your firm.
Hackers are increasingly turning to ransomware to profit off stolen data. Ransomware is a combination of stealing data and blackmailing law firms, blocking access to a computer system’s data until a ransom is paid. If firms decide not to pay, they could lose their data permanently.
​
Hackers over the last few years have focused on big law firms, including DLA Piper; Mossack Fonseca & Co; Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP; Proskauer & Rose LLP; Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP; and offshore account specialists Appleby Law Pllc. Bad actors have used phishing, malware, and ransomware strikes to pilfer sensitive client data, merger materials, intellectual property, and financial information.
​
All of the breaches could have been potentially prevented with a property Security Awareness program which educates your office to the tricks that hackers use to steal your data. Blumbrella utilizes a variety of cyber security training avenues to ensure that your "Layer 8" (the Human)... is SECURED!
