Cybersecurity Awareness Month: “Near Miss” Cyber Incidents Reported to CLIA

Cyber fraud is an emerging claims area for CLIA. Fraudsters are becoming increasingly sophisticated, especially as AI technologies become more accessible. Even those well versed in technology and armed with training are vulnerable to cyber fraud.

First 24 Hours : Effectively Responding to a Cyber Attack
Responding to a cyber attack can be challenging for any organization. It can be particularly devastating for a law firm given the confidential nature of the data it holds about its clients. While the operational, financial and legal impacts flowing from a cyber attack can be quantified, the reputational impact is more difficult to ascertain and arguably, more pronounced for a law firm given the “trust” relationship lawyers have with their clients.
