10 Sloppy Tech Habits Your Law Firm Needs to Break in 2025

Few law firms seem to fully appreciate the level of risk attorneys and staff truly represent.  As a user of firm technology, any individual's actions can unintentionally circumvent the security tools IT support has deployed.  For example, a poorly thought out action in response to the wrong email, voicemail, or text message can be what enables a cyber breach to occur.  Of course, the ultimate goal is to avoid having to deal with a cyber breach at all because actions that seek to prevent a breach are going to be easier and less stressful than any actions that must be taken to try and recover from the fallout of a breach.  Unfortunately, it's the ignorance and/or apathy of any individual user that can so easily prevent a firm from ever reaching that goal. This program will try to address this problem by focusing on how to secure the users of technology by creating awareness of how social engineering attacks occur and coupling that with passing along knowledge of how the attacks themselves can be circumvented.
