Targeted Attacks: How to Recognize From a Defender's POV

Cybersecurity is the biggest risk law firms face, and they can expect to face greater scrutiny from clients on how they use, store and protect client data. An effective cyber risk program often requires advanced threat detection and response capabilities that can challenge even a well-resourced internal IT team. While many recreations and online exploits are presented from the attacker's point of view, what do these attacks look like on the defender's side? In this webinar, top security operations center (SOC) expert, Sam McLane, will share war stories on how attacks appeared in targeted organizations, the steps taken to correlate information about the attacks, and the development of an effective mitigation strategy. You'll also gain insight on how a SOC can identify a sophisticated attack sooner in its evolution, helping minimize the damage it might cause. After attending, we will help you answer the following key questions: - How can law firms demonstrate to their clients the effectiveness of their cybersecurity programs? - What are the key risk factors that law firms face and how can they be mitigated? - Why are law firms particularly vulnerable to the new cyberattacks that are becoming more prevalent? - What is the right way to manage a cybersecurity breach?
