Transcript
Few professions can spot, read, and neutralise a threat better than lawyers. Contracts, liability, compliance - you know it all inside out. But there is a type of threat that continues to elude even the most experienced among us.
It doesn't arrive in a court filing. It doesn't come from opposing counsel. It arrives in an email that looks completely routine - until someone on your team clicks it.
Because the biggest vulnerability for a law firm, big or small, isn't lack of expertise, technology or systems. It's us - the people.
The verdict is in - at its core, cybersecurity is a psychological problem. And in a profession built on confidentiality, privilege and trust, the stakes couldn't be higher.
In the next series of Cross-Examined, we will look at what this means for lawyers. We talk to people who break in, the people who clean up afterward, and the specialists working at the intersection of cyber risk and professional obligations.
Tune in to find out how cyber criminals breach our defenses and get practical, up-to-date advice on protecting yourself, your firm and your clients.
