Protecting your legal matters against cyber threats
The risk.
In today’s digital world, cyber threats are an ever-present risk for individuals and businesses alike. We take your cybersecurity seriously and are committed to safeguarding your sensitive information throughout the legal process.
What are the cyber threats?
Cybercriminals target law firms due to the high-value and confidential nature of the information we handle.
From phishing scams to sophisticated ransomware attacks, these threats are designed to compromise your data and disrupt services. Awareness and vigilance are critical steps in reducing exposure to these threats.
Protecting yourself.
We have implemented rigorous cybersecurity measures to protect against unauthorised access, data breaches, and other online risks. However, your involvement is also essential.
Here are a few steps you can take to help protect yourself:
- Verify Communications: Before acting on any legal or financial instructions, especially involving the transfer of funds, verify the authenticity of requests by calling your lawyer directly.
- Beware of Phishing Emails: Look out for emails that request sensitive information or link to suspicious websites. Cybercriminals often disguise emails to look legitimate.
- Use Strong Passwords: Choose secure, unique passwords and update them regularly to reduce the risk of unauthorised access to your accounts.
If you receive any communication from us that seems suspicious, please contact us immediately. Together, we can work to minimise the risks and ensure that your legal matters remain secure.
