Description: Ransomware attacks are still the #1 cyber threat that law firms face, but with an updated twist. Today’s ransomware often steals your confidential data before its encryption. Frequently, we now see two ransoms demanded, one for the decryption key and one for a promise (because cyber criminals are so honorable) not to destroy your data. Many law firms are paying, sometimes because they have cyber insurance, and paying is cheaper than being inoperative for an extended period.
How do law firms get ransomware? How can they defend against it? If stricken, how should they handle the attack? Should you pay the ransom? Is it illegal to pay the ransom? Spoiler alert: Sometimes it is. How do you recover from a ransomware attack?
Our experts will offer chilling stories of law firms crippled by ransomware along with tips for defending against and responding to ransomware. This class is a must for attorneys regardless of which sector they practice in, or the size of their firm or office.
