The following is part one of a two-part series addressing the state of cyberattackers against law firms. Part two will discuss cybersecurity best practices, strategies and common mistakes.
Douglas Bloom, director of cybersecurity and forensics at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) let the audience at PwC’s Law Firm Services Global Forum’s “Cyber Risk – A Growing Threat” session in on a hard truth — cyberattackers are hitting law firms and companies harder and more frequently than ever before. Attacks “increased by 42 percent last year — it went up to 58 million attacks per year in 2015,” he said. “To put that into context, that’s a little over 150,000 attacks per day.”
