Managed Cybersecurity For Law Firms

Is your law firm prepared to handle a global network of bad actors and cyber threats that are so pervasive in today’s world?  Does your law firm have a team of partners that have created an investable business that’s worthwhile to protect? What would be the consequence of losing all the business data at your disposal to ransomware? Strolling into the office to find all your data has been encrypted and an email in your inbox demanding millions in ransom payments is a very real scenario.  Even with backups, cybersecurity hackers are sophisticated enough to know exactly how much time it might take you to recover from a breach and will ransom your data at slightly less than the cost of restoring backups, making it an attractive option.  The best tool is prevention.  AKAVEIL can help.

The Sensible Cyber Defenses Your Law Firm Needs

According to a survey conducted by the American Bar Association, approximately 25% of law firms report experiencing a security breach at some point in their lifespan, and another 25% aren’t sure.  

Law firms are popular targets for cyber attacks because they serve as gateways to the sensitive information of multiple organizations and often have low technical maturity and are therefore more vulnerable to a successful cyber attack.

Don’t let your firm become a statistic, MSPs like AKAVEIL put in place sensible cybersecurity defense measures that represent a practical and effective solution for mid-market companies that need a level of protection while still being able to focus investments into growth.
