Just as Georgia is steadily making a name for itself as a global hub for cybersecurity technology , it's also made quite a few headlines for its cybersecurity woes in the last year. A cyber incident at Atlanta-based Equifax last year exposed personal information for upward of 148 million Americans and drew massive national scrutiny from consumers over its handling. Not long after, ransomware attackers targeted Atlanta city government, forcing some city services offline for weeks before they were able to be restored. Natalie Kelly, head of the State Bar of Georgia's law practice management program, has seen Georgia attorneys try to learn from the state's cybersecurity disaster experiences. “With our local headlines, it's kind of forced attorneys to really pay attention,” she said. To support them, the State Bar of Georgia will offer a three-pronged cybersecurity program for members: breach assessment, compliance and certification, and insurance. The assessment program, priced at $495 for state bar members, uses risk management group Invisus' InfoSafe standards and covers both potential breach liability and compliance standards. The certification program, also run using InfoSafe standards, is meant to help firms assure potential clients that their data is secured. The program trains attorneys in both administrative and technical standards, and is available for 20 percent of the sticker price to state bar members. The insurance program, Kelly noted, will cover both cyber incidents and breach response through a cyberinsurance broker. Premiums for bar members start at $199 monthly. Kelly explained that the new member benefit is a direct result of conversations sparked at the state bar's annual Solo and Small Firm Institute . Many state bar members in recent years have flagged insurance fraud and cybersecurity as key concerns, which prompted State Bar of Georgia member benefits coordinator Sheila Baldwin to seek out an appropriate partner group. Invisus was vetted, as are any certified state bar brokers, through a vote of both its member benefits and executive councils. Even outside of member benefits, Kelly has seen attorneys grow much more knowledgeable about the cybersecurity risk landscape for their firms. A year ago, she received a lot of calls from solo and small firm attorneys looking to get familiarized with cyberinsurance. Now, she said, her calls seem to be coming from a more cyber-literate member base. “We're starting to move the needle more toward implementation,” she said. “In general, Georgia lawyers are starting to become more vigilant. I think this can just be another tool that the bar can offer them that can be helpful,” Kelly said of the program.
