One phishing email. One weak password. One overlooked update. That's often all it takes for a law firm to become a cyber security statistic.
NZ law firms are increasingly targeted by cyber criminals. Sensitive client data, tight deadlines, and small IT teams make firms an attractive mark.
In this session, we'll break down the basics every firm needs to get right and the best-practice habits that separate resilient firms from vulnerable ones:
✅ Recognising and avoiding common attacks
✅ Locking down access with strong authentication
✅ Handling client data securely, day to day
✅ Responding fast and correctly if something goes wrong
✅ Vetting the security of your own vendors and softwareNo scare tactics, no tech-speak — just a practical, no-nonsense guide to protecting your firm and your clients.
