Is your law firm prepared for the incessant bombardment of phishing attempts?
Today’s Training’s inaugural webinar on understanding the threat of email-based attacks could help prevent your law firm from falling foul of cyber criminals.
The legal sector is a prime target for unscrupulous cyber criminals. Lured in by the abundance of sensitive data and significant amounts of client money.
100 per cent of the top ten law firms suffered at least one phishing attack last year with all firms placing phishing in their top three most frequently attempted attacks, according to the PWC ‘Law Firms’ Survey 2019’.

According to the ‘Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2019’, 32% of UK businesses and 22% of charities were victims of data breaches or cyber attacks last year. Of these organisations, phishing emails were identified as the most common threat with 80% of businesses and 81% of charities stating they’d suffered at the hand of these attacks.
