For lawyers, understanding and implementing cyber security requirements for their firms often seems overwhelming. In addition clients are taking the necessary steps to ask their law firms to explain their process for cyber-attack prevention. Law firms are facing unprecedented cyber-attack challenges from the widespread use of electronic records and mobile devices.

Not surprisingly, top clients are filing lawsuits against law firms that are marketing itself as using sophisticated data security products to protect clients’ information but in fact had numerous vulnerabilities that already have been known by hackers.

The data and information kept by law firms are largely protected by the attorney-client privilege and/or the work product doctrine, as well as by various legal ethics requirements. This makes the data that much more valuable to hackers. There are many types of sensitive data being collected, transmitted, and archived that are target-rich for cyber-criminals. Hackers target critical, highly valuable corporate records, intellectual property, strategic business data, and litigation-related theories and records collected through e-discovery.
