The Government's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has called on law firms to take action to protect themselves from cyberattacks, amid concerns that many do not have adequate systems in place to ward off threats to their IT infrastructure.
The NCSC, which was launched last February, has released a 'legal sector threat report' designed to "encourage industrywide adoption of cybersecurity best practice", citing the growing financial and reputational impact of attacks on law firm systems.
