Cyber Security for
Technology Firms
Tech firms and digital enterprises handle vast amounts of confidential and sensitive data that they are responsible for protecting and keeping secure, with much of this information forming the foundation of a firms digital ecosystem.
As a result, tech firms are a prime target for cyber criminals - from user information to proprietary research and financial data, the potential risk are both significant and costly.
TECH SECTOR CHALLENGES IN THE FACE OF CYBER THREATS
+ Scaling Cyber Security Capabilities & Prevention
The legal sector has seen significant, sharp increases in attack volume in recent years, with high levels of phishing, BEC and ransomware attacks being launched at firms across the sector. It is paramount that firms invest in cyber security and encourage greater staff awareness.
+ Managing Reputation
Most firms operating in the legal sector rely heavily on their reputation for being trusted, secure, and reliable to gain clients. Managing and maintaining this reputation is key to success, and cyber incidents, like ransomware attacks or a data leak, risk breaking this trust.
+ Building a Secure Remote Working Culture
With many firms operating work-from-home policies, there can be confidential and valuable data moved around between secure and unsecured devices, and over potentially unsecured home networks that cannot be monitored effectively.

MOST COMMON ATTACK VECTORS IN THE TECH SECTOR
1. PHISHING
Phishing attacks employ deceptive emails, text messages or website links to try and trick individuals into revealing sensitive information like passwords or payment information.
2. BEC (BUSINESS EMAIL COMPROMISE)
A phishing attack that impersonates a trusted individual or organisation to trick employees into transferring funds or divulging sensitive information.
3. RANSOMWARE
Ransomware refers to malicious software that encrypts a victim’s data and demands a ransom for its release. This is particularly threatening for law firms that rely on their reputation and client trust.
4. MALWARE
Malware is any software that is intentionally designed to cause disruption to a computer or server, leak private information or gain unauthorised access to information or systems.
5. PASSWORD ATTACKS
Cyber criminals will take advantage of weaknesses in the password security of employees and the lack of MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) on accounts.
5. SUPPLY CHAIN ATTACKS
This type of attack shifts the focus to a service provider or partner firm that operates alongside the primary target. Supply chain attacks in the legal sector could target a partner firm and cause operational issues during a critical point in a case.
