Law firms around the world are a primary target for cyber criminals and no organisation is immune. 65% of UK legal firms have been a victim of a cyber incident, but despite the need to protect ourselves, 35% of firms do not have a cyber mitigation plan in place – leaving them vulnerable to financial, legal, and reputational risks.
Led by Calum Baird, Digital Forensics and Incident Response Consultant at Systal Technology Solutions, this session guides you through the fundamentals of creating an effective Cyber Incident Response Plan (CIRP) to safeguard your firm. This session also features contributions from Nicholas Scullion, Managing Director of Scullion Law, who shares his first-hand experience of navigating a cyber breach that threatened to cripple his practice.
