The Law Firm Cybersecurity Scorecard is issued quarterly and is part of their commitment to thoroughly study, understand, and report on the imminent amount and magnitude of threats faced by law firms today as well as the steps they are taking to mitigate the threat. To that point, per a recent Law 3603 report, law firm Managing Partners list cybersecurity as their number three priority, behind financial profits and generating revenue. Even though cybersecurity seems to be an area of particular focus, this scorecard will illustrate that law firms continue to struggle with making operational investments and instituting practices that do not provide a quantifiable financial return. Thus, they jeopardize their reputations, client relationships, and in some cases, financial well-being.

From the Report, “Through analysis of billions of anonymized cloud events across a broad set of enterprise organizations*, we can determine the current state of how the cloud is truly being used, and where our risk lies. Consider that nearly a quarter of data in the cloud is sensitive, and that sharing of sensitive data in the cloud has increased 53% year-over-year. If we don’t appropriately control access and protect our data from threats, we put our enterprises at risk.”

This year’s Risk:Value Report from NTT Security shows that there is still a lot of work to do. It crystallizes in one shocking statistic: one-third of companies would rather pay a hacker’s ransom than invest in information security.

In recent months, Beazley Breach Response (BBR) Services has seen the number of reported ransomware incidents climb again. The varieties of ransomware and the differing technical abilities of the criminals make effective response especially challenging. Breach response services, such as forensics and legal counsel, are often necessary in ransomware attacks to determine the attack vector and level of access obtained by the attacker. If the attacker accessed or exfiltrated personally identifiable information or protected health information, notification to affected individuals may be required by law.

You can use container security tools to secure critical applications, speed development efforts, and tamperproof your containers. But to access these benefits, you’ll first have to select from a diverse set of vendors — vendors that vary by size, functionality, geography, and vertical market focus. Security pros should use Forrester’s Now Tech report to understand the value they can expect from a container security provider and select vendors based on size and functionality.

This report outlines key findings from the 2017 KPMG/Forbes Insights CyberSecurity Survey of 100 senior executives from the healthcare field. [One-hundred senior life sciences executives were surveyed as well.] The findings indicate that companies are elevating cyber security to a strategic imperative but at a pace that lags behind their desire to adopt digital technologies to drive innovation. To illustrate, we take a look at the current and desired states of cyber security in healthcare through the lenses of data sharing, vendor management, and medical device implementation. We conclude with our guidance on where organizations should be focusing their efforts.

This report examines the substantial economic costs that malicious cyber activity imposes on the U.S. economy. Cyber threats are ever-evolving and may come from sophisticated adversaries. Due to common vulnerabilities, instances of security breaches occur across firms and in patterns that are difficult to anticipate. Importantly, cyberattacks and cyber theft impose externalities that may lead to rational underinvestment in cybersecurity by the private sectorrelative to the socially optimal level of investment. Firms in critical infrastructure sectors may generate especially large negative spillover effects to the wider economy. Insufficient data may impair cybersecurity efforts. Successful protection against cyber threats requires cooperation across firms and between private and public sectors.
