The risk of a data breach is imminent with attackers often
assigned to target certain sectors, specifically, legal firms to
exploit intellectual property.
A large amount of security infrastructure is being implemented
into small to large firms to ensure there isn't a vulnerability
that can be used for a ransom request or to silently monitor
communications. IT security can be implemented, but it requires
change management including educating personnel on how to properly
identify suspicious emails, websites or access to their
devices.
There has been an increase in media coverage on mandatory data
breach notifications where a firm would have to engage an expert to
identify and audit the 'what, how, why, when and where' it
happened and then manage what data is at risk.
