10 Sloppy Tech Habits Your Law Firm Needs to Break in 2025

ACCESS FREE ON-DEMAND
ALPS Branded marquee image for CLE course covering 10 sloppy tech habits law firms need to break

Course Description:

Few law firms seem to fully appreciate the level of risk attorneys and staff truly represent.  As a user of firm technology, any individual's actions can unintentionally circumvent the security tools IT support has deployed.  For example, a poorly thought-out response to the wrong email, voicemail, or text message can enable a cyber breach.  Of course, the ultimate goal is to avoid a cyber breach altogether, because preventing one is easier and less stressful than recovering from its fallout.  Unfortunately, it's the ignorance and/or apathy of any individual user that can so easily prevent a firm from ever reaching that goal. This program will address this problem by focusing on protecting technology users, raising awareness of how social engineering attacks occur, and coupling that with knowledge of how the attacks themselves can be circumvented.  

Learning Objectives: 

  • An understanding of why ongoing mandatory user training is necessary

  • An awareness of the types of attacks being directed at law firms

  • Awareness of ways attacks in the mobile device space can be prevented

  • Practical tips on how to avoid becoming a victim of wire fraud scams

  • A basic understanding of how sophisticated social engineering attacks have become, coupled with practical ways such attacks can be identified.
