Cyber Security Guidelines By the IBA’s Presidential Task Force on Cyber Security October 2018

Law firms hold large volumes of valuable personal and commercially sensitive information about their firms, employees, case information and clients. This makes law firms of all sizes a highly attractive target for cybercriminals1. Breaches of data security can have devastating legal, financial and reputational consequences for a law firm’s clients and business, as well as the law firm. As such, it is critical that firms have effective cyber security technologies and processes that focus on protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of sensitive data2.
